    One is going to increase this place by using the number one borrowed from the column to the left. Therefore: 10 − 8 = 2. It is 10 rather than 0, because one borrowed from the Thousands place. 75 > 44 so no need to borrow, say "two hundred" Tens: 7 − 4 = 3, 5 > 4, so 5 - 4 = 1 Hence, the result is 2231.

    When two numbers are multiplied, the resulting value is a product. 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."

    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 the quotient.

    For instance, the numeral for 10,405 uses one time the symbol for 10,000, four times the symbol for 100, and five times the symbol for 1. A similar well-known framework is the Roman numeral system . It has the symbols I, V, X, L, C, D, M as its basic numerals to represent the numbers 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000.

    One of the main properties of multiplication is the commutative property, which states in this case that adding 3 copies of 4 gives the same result as adding 4 copies of 3: 4 × 3 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12. {\displaystyle 4\times 3=3+3+3+3=12.}

  7. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Add 4 times the last digit to the rest. The result must be divisible by 13. (Works because 39 is divisible by 13). 637: 63 + 7 × 4 = 91, 9 + 1 × 4 = 13. Subtract the last two digits from four times the rest. The result must be divisible by 13. 923: 9 × 4 − 23 = 13. Subtract 9 times the last digit from the rest. The result must be divisible ...

  8. Composite number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_number

    One way to classify composite numbers is by counting the number of prime factors. A composite number with two prime factors is a semiprime or 2-almost prime (the factors need not be distinct, hence squares of primes are included). A composite number with three distinct prime factors is a sphenic number. In some applications, it is necessary to ...

  9. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    The quotitive concept of division lends itself to calculation by repeated subtraction: dividing entails counting how many times the divisor can be subtracted before the dividend runs out. Because no finite number of subtractions of zero will ever exhaust a non-zero dividend, calculating division by zero in this way never terminates. [3]
