2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

3. Division by two - Wikipedia

   An orange that has been sliced into two halves. In mathematics, division by two or halving has also been called mediation or dimidiation. [1] The treatment of this as a different operation from multiplication and division by other numbers goes back to the ancient Egyptians, whose multiplication algorithm used division by two as one of its fundamental steps. [2]

4. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

   Subtract the quantity of the digits 2, 5, and 8 in the number from the quantity of the digits 1, 4, and 7 in the number. The result must be divisible by 3. Using the example above: 16,499,205,854,376 has four of the digits 1, 4 and 7 and four of the digits 2, 5 and 8; since 4 − 4 = 0 is a multiple of 3, the number 16,499,205,854,376 is ...

5. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

   Computation of the sum 2 + 5 + 8 + 11 + 14. When the sequence is reversed and added to itself term by term, the resulting sequence has a single repeated value in it, equal to the sum of the first and last numbers (2 + 14 = 16). Thus 16 × 5 = 80 is twice the sum.

6. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

   5⋅5, or 5 2 (5 squared), can be shown graphically using a square. Each block represents one unit, 1⋅1, and the entire square represents 5⋅5, or the area of the square. In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb "to square" is used to denote this operation.

7. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

   More generally, the set of m×n matrices can be used to represent the R-linear maps between the free modules R m and R n for an arbitrary ring R with unity. When n = m composition of these maps is possible, and this gives rise to the matrix ring of n × n matrices representing the endomorphism ring of R n .
