2. Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm_for...

   In mathematics, the greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions is a greedy algorithm, first described by Fibonacci, for transforming rational numbers into Egyptian fractions. An Egyptian fraction is a representation of an irreducible fraction as a sum of distinct unit fractions , such as ⁠ 5 / 6 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ .

3. Egyptian fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_fraction

   Many of the calculations throughout Fibonacci's book involve numbers represented as Egyptian fractions, and one section of this book [11] provides a list of methods for conversion of vulgar fractions to Egyptian fractions. If the number is not already a unit fraction, the first method in this list is to attempt to split the numerator into a sum ...

4. Bracket (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In elementary algebra, parentheses ( ) are used to specify the order of operations. [1] Terms inside the bracket are evaluated first; hence 2×(3 + 4) is 14, 20 ÷ (5(1 + 1)) is 2 and (2×3) + 4 is 10. This notation is extended to cover more general algebra involving variables: for example (x + y) × (x − y). Square brackets are also often ...

6. Symbols of grouping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_of_grouping

   For example, in the expression 3(x+y) the parentheses are symbols of grouping, but in the expression (3, 5) the parentheses may indicate an open interval. The most common symbols of grouping are the parentheses and the square brackets, and the latter are usually used to avoid too many repeated parentheses.

7. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   In academic literature, when inline fractions are combined with implied multiplication without explicit parentheses, the multiplication is conventionally interpreted as having higher precedence than division, so that e.g. 1 / 2n is interpreted to mean 1 / (2 · n) rather than (1 / 2) · n.

8. Catalan number - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_number

   Re-interpreting the symbol X as an open parenthesis and Y as a close parenthesis, C n counts the number of expressions containing n pairs of parentheses which are correctly matched: C n is the number of different ways n + 1 factors can be completely parenthesized (or the number of ways of associating n applications of a binary operator , as in ...

9. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

   A multiple of a number is the product of that number and an integer. For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2. Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2.
