  2. Reciprocals of primes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocals_of_primes

    Rules for calculating the periods of repeating decimals from rational fractions were given by James Whitbread Lee Glaisher in 1878. [5] For a prime p, the period of its reciprocal divides p − 1. [6] The sequence of recurrence periods of the reciprocal primes (sequence A002371 in the OEIS) appears in the 1973 Handbook of Integer Sequences.

  3. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.

  4. Repdigit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repdigit

    In recreational mathematics, a repdigit or sometimes monodigit [1] is a natural number composed of repeated instances of the same digit in a positional number system (often implicitly decimal). The word is a portmanteau of "repeated" and "digit". Examples are 11, 666, 4444, and 999999. All repdigits are palindromic numbers and are multiples of ...

  5. Prime reciprocal magic square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_reciprocal_magic_square

    In contrast with its rows and columns, the diagonals of this square do not sum to 27; however, their mean is 27, as one diagonal adds to 23 while the other adds to 31.. All prime reciprocals in any base with a period will generate magic squares where all rows and columns produce a magic constant, and only a select few will be full, such that their diagonals, rows and columns collectively yield ...

  6. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    The reciprocal function: y = 1/x.For every x except 0, y represents its multiplicative inverse. The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola.. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x −1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1.

  7. List of sums of reciprocals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sums_of_reciprocals

    The sum of the reciprocals of the powerful numbers is close to 1.9436 . [4] The reciprocals of the factorials sum to the transcendental number e (one of two constants called "Euler's number"). The sum of the reciprocals of the square numbers (the Basel problem) is the transcendental number ⁠ π 2 / 6 ⁠, or ζ(2) where ζ is the Riemann zeta ...

  8. 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.

  9. Simple continued fraction - Wikipedia

    The fractional part is the reciprocal of ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ which is about 2.1628. Use the integer part, 2, as an approximation for the reciprocal to obtain a second approximation of 4 + ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ = 4.5. Now, ⁠ 93 / 43 ⁠ = 2 + ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠; the remaining fractional part, ⁠ 7 / 43 ⁠, is the reciprocal of ⁠ 43 / 7 ⁠, and ⁠ 43 / 7 ...
