  2. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    If the function f : R n → R is k + 1 times continuously differentiable in a closed ball = {: ‖ ‖} for some >, then one can derive an exact formula for the remainder in terms of (k+1)-th order partial derivatives of f in this neighborhood.

    In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient. Unlike the other basic operations, when dividing natural numbers there is sometimes a remainder that will not go evenly into the dividend; for example, 10 / 3 leaves a remainder of 1, as 10 is not a multiple of 3.

    and 3 is the least positive remainder, while, 43 = (−9) × (−5) + (−2) and −2 is the least absolute remainder. In the division of 42 by 5, we have: 42 = 8 × 5 + 2, and since 2 < 5/2, 2 is both the least positive remainder and the least absolute remainder. In these examples, the (negative) least absolute remainder is obtained from the ...

  5. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    A division algorithm is an algorithm which, given two integers N and D (respectively the numerator and the denominator), computes their quotient and/or remainder, the result of Euclidean division. Some are applied by hand, while others are employed by digital circuit designs and software. Division algorithms fall into two main categories: slow ...

  6. Missing dollar riddle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_dollar_riddle

    The misdirection in this riddle is in the second half of the description, where unrelated amounts are added together and the person to whom the riddle is posed assumes those amounts should add up to 30, and is then surprised when they do not ⁠— ⁠there is, in fact, no reason why the (10 ⁠− ⁠1) ⁠× ⁠3 ⁠ + ⁠2 ⁠ = ⁠29 sum ...

  7. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    Long division. In arithmetic, long division is a standard division algorithm suitable for dividing multi-digit Hindu-Arabic numerals ( positional notation) that is simple enough to perform by hand. It breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps. As in all division problems, one number, called the dividend, is divided by another ...

  8. Collatz conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collatz_conjecture

    For example, for 2 5 a + 1 there are 3 increases as 1 iterates to 2, 1, 2, 1, and finally to 2 so the result is 3 3 a + 2; for 2 2 a + 1 there is only 1 increase as 1 rises to 2 and falls to 1 so the result is 3a + 1. When b is 2 k − 1 then there will be k rises and the result will be 3 k a + 3 k − 1.

  9. Casting out nines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting_out_nines

    Casting out nines. Casting out nines is any of three arithmetical procedures: [1] Adding the decimal digits of a positive whole number, while optionally ignoring any 9s or digits which sum to 9 or a multiple of 9. The result of this procedure is a number which is smaller than the original whenever the original has more than one digit, leaves ...
