    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    For a vertical line, this is 1 : 0, a kind of division by zero. In another interpretation, the quotient Q {\displaystyle Q} represents the ratio N : D . {\displaystyle N:D.} [ 6 ] For example, a cake recipe might call for ten cups of flour and two cups of sugar, a ratio of 10 : 2 {\displaystyle 10:2} or, proportionally, 5 : 1. {\displaystyle 5:1.}

  5. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

  6. Multiplication sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_sign

    The multiplication sign (×), also known as the times sign or the dimension sign, is a mathematical symbol used to denote the operation of multiplication, which results in a product. [1] The symbol is also used in botany, in botanical hybrid names. The form is properly a four-fold rotationally symmetric saltire. [2]

  7. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    Any number multiplied by 1 is itself: =. Zero. Any number multiplied by 0 is 0: =. In the multiplication algorithm, the "tens" digit of the product of a pair of digits is referred to as the "carry digit".

  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 x ⋅ ( 2 + x ) {\displaystyle x\cdot (2+x)} is the product of x {\displaystyle x} and ( 2 + x ) {\displaystyle ...

  9. 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).
