  2. Lowest common denominator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowest_common_denominator

    In musical rhythm, the LCD is used in cross-rhythms and polymeters to determine the fewest notes necessary to count time given two or more metric divisions. For example, much African music is recorded in Western notation using 12 8 because each measure is divided by 4 and by 3, the LCD of which is 12.

  3. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    The least common multiple of the denominators of two fractions is the "lowest common denominator" (lcd), and can be used for adding, subtracting or comparing the fractions. The least common multiple of more than two integers a , b , c , . . . , usually denoted by lcm( a , b , c , . . .) , is defined as the smallest positive integer that is ...

  4. Periodic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periodic_function

    For set representing all notes of a major triad: [1 5 ⁄ 4 3 ⁄ 2] the LCD is 4 therefore T = 4 ⁄ f. For set representing all notes of a minor triad: [1 6 ⁄ 5 3 ⁄ 2] the LCD is 10 therefore T = 10 ⁄ f. If no least common denominator exists, for instance if one of the above elements were irrational, then the wave would not be periodic. [4]

  5. Euclidean algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm

    The average number of steps taken by the Euclidean algorithm has been defined in three different ways. The first definition is the average time T(a) required to calculate the GCD of a given number a and a smaller natural number b chosen with equal probability from the integers 0 to a − 1 [96]

    An electronic pocket calculator with a seven-segment liquid-crystal display (LCD) that can perform arithmetic operations A modern scientific calculator with an LCD. An electronic calculator is typically a portable electronic device used to perform calculations, ranging from basic arithmetic to complex mathematics.

  7. Greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor

    The greatest common divisor (GCD) of integers a and b, at least one of which is nonzero, is the greatest positive integer d such that d is a divisor of both a and b; that is, there are integers e and f such that a = de and b = df, and d is the largest such integer.

    In 1998, the Casio fx-991W model used a two-tier (multi-line) display and the system was termed as S-V.P.A.M. (Super V.P.A.M.). The model featured a 5×6-dot LCD matrix cells on the top line of the screen and a 7-segment LCD on the bottom line of the screen that had been used in Casio fx-4500P programmable calculators. [1]
