  2. Clearing denominators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_denominators

    Simplifying this further gives us the solution x = −3. It is easily checked that none of the zeros of x ( x + 1)( x + 2) – namely x = 0 , x = −1 , and x = −2 – is a solution of the final equation, so no spurious solutions were introduced.

  3. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 22, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two , e.g. ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 2 3 ⁠ .

  4. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    For example, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠, ⁠ 5 / 6 ⁠, and ⁠ −101 / 100 ⁠ are all irreducible fractions. On the other hand, ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠ is reducible since it is equal in value to ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, and the numerator of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ is less than the numerator of ⁠ 2 / 4 ⁠. A fraction that is reducible can be reduced by dividing both the numerator ...

  5. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    [2] [3] Thus, in the expression 1 + 2 × 3, the multiplication is performed before addition, and the expression has the value 1 + (2 × 3) = 7, and not (1 + 2) × 3 = 9. When exponents were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries, they were given precedence over both addition and multiplication and placed as a superscript to the right of ...

  6. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    A continued fraction is an expression of the form = + + + + + where the a n (n > 0) are the partial numerators, the b n are the partial denominators, and the leading term b 0 is called the integer part of the continued fraction.

  7. Simplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplification

    Simplification is the process of replacing a mathematical expression by an equivalent one that is simpler (usually shorter), according to a well-founded ordering. Examples include:

  8. 49 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/49_(number)

    49 is the smallest discriminant of a totally real cubic field. [2] 49 and 94 are the only numbers below 100 whose all permutations are composites but they are not multiples of 3, repdigits or numbers which only have digits 0, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8, even excluding the trivial one digit terms. 49 = 7^2 and 94 = 2 * 47

  9. 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".
