  2. Multiplication table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_table

    Multiplication table from 1 to 10 drawn to scale with the upper-right half labeled with prime factorisations. In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system.

  3. Parasitic number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_number

    An n-parasitic number can be derived by starting with a digit k (which should be equal to n or greater) in the rightmost (units) place, and working up one digit at a time. For example, for n = 4 and k = 7 4 × 7 = 28 4 × 87 = 348 4 × 487 = 1948 4 × 9487 = 37948 4 × 79487 = 317948 4 × 179487 = 717948.

  5. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    Since 9 = 101, to multiply a number by nine, multiply it by 10 and then subtract the original number from the result. For example, 9 × 27 = 270 − 27 = 243. This method can be adjusted to multiply by eight instead of nine, by doubling the number being subtracted; 8 × 27 = 270 − (2×27) = 270 − 54 = 216.

  6. 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.

  7. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    The reciprocal function y = ⁠ 1 / x ⁠. As x approaches zero from the right, y tends to positive infinity. As x approaches zero from the left, y tends to negative infinity. In mathematics, division by zero, division where the divisor (denominator) is zero, is a unique and problematic special case.

  8. Product (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied, called factors.For example, 21 is the product of 3 and 7 (the result of multiplication), and (+) is the product of and (+) (indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together).

  9. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    The numbers being multiplied are multiplicands, multipliers, or factors. Multiplication can be expressed as "five times three equals fifteen," "five times three is fifteen," or "fifteen is the product of five and three." Multiplication is represented using the multiplication sign (×), the asterisk (*), parentheses (), or a dot (⋅).
