    By mental calculation, it is easier to multiply 16 by 3 ⁄ 16 than to do the same calculation using the fraction's decimal equivalent (0.1875). And it is more precise (exact, in fact) to multiply 15 by 1 ⁄ 3 , for example, than it is to multiply 15 by any decimal approximation of one third.

    Computable number: A real number whose digits can be computed by some algorithm. Period: A number which can be computed as the integral of some algebraic function over an algebraic domain. Definable number: A real number that can be defined uniquely using a first-order formula with one free variable in the language of set theory.

    Equivalent (1926), one of many photographs of the sky taken by Stieglitz.. Equivalents is a series of photographs of clouds taken by Alfred Stieglitz from 1925 to 1934. They are generally recognized as the first photographs intended to free the subject matter from literal interpretation, and, as such, are some of the first completely abstract photographic works of art.

  5. Difference of two squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_two_squares

    If two numbers (whose average is a number which is easily squared) are multiplied, the difference of two squares can be used to give you the product of the original two numbers. For example: 27 × 33 = ( 30 − 3 ) ( 30 + 3 ) {\displaystyle 27\times 33=(30-3)(30+3)}

  7. Irreducible fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreducible_fraction

    An equivalent definition is sometimes useful: if a and b are integers, then the fraction ⁠ a / b ⁠ is irreducible if and only if there is no other equal fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ such that | c | < | a | or | d | < | b |, where | a | means the absolute value of a. [4] (Two fractions ⁠ a / b ⁠ and ⁠ c / d ⁠ are equal or equivalent if and ...
