    Then the triangle is in Euclidean space if the sum of the reciprocals of p, q, and r equals 1, spherical space if that sum is greater than 1, and hyperbolic space if the sum is less than 1. A harmonic divisor number is a positive integer whose divisors have a harmonic mean that is an integer. The first five of these are 1, 6, 28, 140, and 270.

    3. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a proper subgroup of the second one. > (greater-than sign) 1. Strict inequality between two numbers; means and is read as "greater than". 2. Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

  4. Multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicative_inverse

    For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. For example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth (1/5 or 0.2), and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4. The reciprocal function, the function f(x) that maps x to 1/x, is one of the simplest examples of a function which is its own inverse (an involution).

  5. Fraction - Wikipedia

    The reciprocal of a fraction is another fraction with the numerator and denominator exchanged. The reciprocal of ⁠ 3 / 7 ⁠, for instance, is ⁠ 7 / 3 ⁠. The product of a non-zero fraction and its reciprocal is 1, hence the reciprocal is the multiplicative inverse of a fraction. The reciprocal of a proper fraction is improper, and the ...

    Multiplicative inverse, in mathematics, the number 1/x, which multiplied by x gives the product 1, also known as a reciprocal; Reciprocal polynomial, a polynomial obtained from another polynomial by reversing its coefficients; Reciprocal rule, a technique in calculus for calculating derivatives of reciprocal functions; Reciprocal spiral, a ...

    Inverse proportionality with product x y = 1 . Two variables are inversely proportional (also called varying inversely, in inverse variation, in inverse proportion) [2] if each of the variables is directly proportional to the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of the other, or equivalently if their product is a constant. [3]

    "In the 15th century, you begin to get to him, identified with love, with the life of a woman, for a man or man for a woman," Kemp said. The first non-medical illustration accompanied the French ...

  9. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

    In other words, the two numbers are within about a factor of 10 of each other. [1] For example, 1 and 1.02 are within an order of magnitude. So are 1 and 2, 1 and 9, or 1 and 0.2. However, 1 and 15 are not within an order of magnitude, since their ratio is 15/1 = 15 > 10. The reciprocal ratio, 1/15, is less than 0.1, so the same result is obtained.
