  2. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    The remainder of the sum when divided by 7 is the remainder of the given number when divided by 7. For example: The number 194,536 leaves a remainder of 6 on dividing by 7. The number 510,517,813 leaves a remainder of 1 on dividing by 7. Proof of correctness of the method

  3. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

    127 ÷ 4 = 31.75 124 30 (bring down 0; decimal to quotient) 28 (7 × 4 = 28) 20 (an additional zero is added) 20 (5 × 4 = 20) 0 In Mexico, the English-speaking world notation is used, except that only the result of the subtraction is annotated and the calculation is done mentally, as shown below:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    Dividing 272 and 8, starting with the hundreds digit, 2 is not divisible by 8. Add 20 and 7 to get 27. The largest number that the divisor of 8 can be multiplied by without exceeding 27 is 3, so it is written under the tens column. Subtracting 24 (the product of 3 and 8) from 27 gives 3 as the remainder.

    7 is a divisor of 42 because =, so we can say It can also be said that 42 is divisible by 7, 42 is a multiple of 7, 7 divides 42, or 7 is a factor of 42. The non-trivial divisors of 6 are 2, −2, 3, −3.

  7. Short division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_division

    The first number to be divided by the divisor (4) is the partial dividend (9). One writes the integer part of the result (2) above the division bar over the leftmost digit of the dividend, and one writes the remainder (1) as a small digit above and to the right of the partial dividend (9).

  8. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    Zero divided by a negative or positive number is either zero or is expressed as a fraction with zero as numerator and the finite quantity as denominator. Zero divided by zero is zero. In 830, Mahāvīra unsuccessfully tried to correct the mistake Brahmagupta made in his book Ganita Sara Samgraha: "A number remains unchanged when divided by zero ...

  9. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.
