    This example uses peasant multiplication to multiply 11 by 3 to arrive at a result of 33. Decimal: Binary: 11 3 1011 11 5 6 101 110 2 12 10 1100 1 24 1 11000 —— —————— 33 100001 Describing the steps explicitly: 11 and 3 are written at the top

  3. 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 ...

    For the leading zero, subtract 1 from the neighbor. For rules 9, 8, 4, and 3 only the first digit is subtracted from 10. After that each digit is subtracted from nine instead. Example: 2,130 × 9 = 19,170 Working from right to left: (10 − 0) + 0 = 10. Write 0, carry 1. (9 − 3) + 0 + 1 (carried) = 7. Write 7. (9 − 1) + 3 = 11. Write 1 ...

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_(algebra)

    y = x 3 for values of 1 ≤ x ≤ 25.. In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number n is its third power, that is, the result of multiplying three instances of n together. The cube of a number n is denoted n 3, using a superscript 3, [a] for example 2 3 = 8.
