  2. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For instance, the first counterexample must be odd because f(2n) = n, smaller than 2n; and it must be 3 mod 4 because f 2 (4n + 1) = 3n + 1, smaller than 4n + 1. For each starting value a which is not a counterexample to the Collatz conjecture, there is a k for which such an inequality holds, so checking the Collatz conjecture for one starting ...

  5. FOIL method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOIL_method

    In the second step, the distributive law is used to simplify each of the two terms. Note that this process involves a total of three applications of the distributive property. In contrast to the FOIL method, the method using distributivity can be applied easily to products with more terms such as trinomials and higher.

  7. Magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_square

    For odd square, since there are (n - 1)/2 same sided rows or columns, there are (n - 1)(n - 3)/8 pairs of such rows or columns that can be interchanged. Thus, there are 2 (n - 1)(n - 3)/8 × 2 (n - 1)(n - 3)/8 = 2 (n - 1)(n - 3)/4 equivalent magic squares obtained by combining such interchanges. Interchanging all the same sided rows flips each ...

  9. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    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.
