2. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   Dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number yields an equivalent fraction: if the numerator and the denominator of a fraction are both divisible by a number (called a factor) greater than 1, then the fraction can be reduced to an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and a smaller denominator.

3. List of types of numbers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_numbers

   Such a number is algebraic and can be expressed as the sum of a rational number and the square root of a rational number. Constructible number: A number representing a length that can be constructed using a compass and straightedge. Constructible numbers form a subfield of the field of algebraic numbers, and include the quadratic surds.

4. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

   Slices of approximately 1/8 of a pizza. A unit fraction is a positive fraction with one as its numerator, 1/ n.It is the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of the denominator of the fraction, which must be a positive natural number.

   The repeating decimal commonly written as 0.999... represents exactly the same quantity as the number one. Despite having the appearance of representing a smaller number, 0.999... is a symbol for the number 1 in exactly the same way that 0.333... is an equivalent notation for the number represented by the fraction 1 ⁄ 3. [444]

6. One half - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_half

   One half is the rational number that lies midway between 0 and 1 on the number line. Multiplication by one half is equivalent to division by two, or "halving"; conversely, division by one half is equivalent to multiplication by two, or "doubling". A square of side length one, here dissected into rectangles whose areas are successive powers of ...

   (But note that sizes thinner than 1 ⁄ 2 ″ are also sometimes specified as fractions of an inch; see the Conversion Table to see how these interleave with gauges.) Even though the gauge system was originally meant for wire, it is now used regardless of whether an item of body jewelry is an actual wire, or is instead a wooden plug, a plastic ...

8. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

   In the first step both numbers were divided by 10, which is a factor common to both 120 and 90. In the second step, they were divided by 3. The final result, ⁠ 4 / 3 ⁠, is an irreducible fraction because 4 and 3 have no common factors other than 1.

9. UEFA coefficient - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficient

   This number is calculated to three decimal places then truncated (e.g. 2 + 2 ⁄ 3 would be truncated to 2.666). [4] [5] To determine an association's coefficient for a particular season, the coefficients for the last five seasons are added. Bonus points are added to the number of points scored in a season. Bonus points are allocated for: [6 ...
