  2. 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.

  3. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

    In algebra, polynomial long division is an algorithm for dividing a polynomial by another polynomial of the same or lower degree, a generalized version of the familiar arithmetic technique called long division. It can be done easily by hand, because it separates an otherwise complex division problem into smaller ones.

  4. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    In English-speaking countries, long division does not use the division slash ∕ or division sign ÷ symbols but instead constructs a tableau. [7] The divisor is separated from the dividend by a right parenthesis ) or vertical bar | ; the dividend is separated from the quotient by a vinculum (i.e., an overbar).

  5. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

    Here is an example of polynomial division as described above. Let: = + = + P(x) will be divided by Q(x) using Ruffini's rule. The main problem is that Q(x) is not a binomial of the form x − r, but rather x + r. Q(x) must be rewritten as

  6. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

    Animation showing the use of synthetic division to find the quotient of + + + by .Note that there is no term in , so the fourth column from the right contains a zero.. In algebra, synthetic division is a method for manually performing Euclidean division of polynomials, with less writing and fewer calculations than long division.

  7. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Division is also not, in general, associative, meaning that when dividing multiple times, the order of division can change the result. [7] For example, (24 / 6) / 2 = 2 , but 24 / (6 / 2) = 8 (where the use of parentheses indicates that the operations inside parentheses are performed before the operations outside parentheses).

  8. Euclidean division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_division

    In arithmetic, Euclidean division – or division with remainder – is the process of dividing one integer (the dividend) by another (the divisor), in a way that produces an integer quotient and a natural number remainder strictly smaller than the absolute value of the divisor. A fundamental property is that the quotient and the remainder ...

  9. Divided differences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divided_differences

    In mathematics, divided differences is an algorithm, historically used for computing tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions. [citation needed] Charles Babbage's difference engine, an early mechanical calculator, was designed to use this algorithm in its operation. [1] Divided differences is a recursive division process.
