    The Motorola 6800 microprocessor was the first for which an undocumented assembly mnemonic HCF became widely known. The operation codes (opcodes—the portions of the machine language instructions that specify an operation to be performed) hexadecimal 9D and DD were reported and given the unofficial mnemonic HCF in a December 1977 article by Gerry Wheeler in BYTE magazine on undocumented ...

  3. Least common multiple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_common_multiple

    A multiple of a number is the product of that number and an integer. For example, 10 is a multiple of 5 because 5 × 2 = 10, so 10 is divisible by 5 and 2. Because 10 is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both 5 and 2, it is the least common multiple of 5 and 2.

    Note: "lc" stands for the leading coefficient, the coefficient of the highest degree of the variable. This algorithm computes not only the greatest common divisor (the last non zero r i ), but also all the subresultant polynomials: The remainder r i is the (deg( r i −1 ) − 1) -th subresultant polynomial.

    The Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude (WTMA) is among the most popular mechanical reasoning tests and is considered very reliable. [1] The WTMA is a 30 minute, sixty-question test used to measure mechanical aptitude. It is used for employment testing of job applicants and to help select vocational education students. The WTMA assesses broad ...

    Note that even simple equations like = are solved using cross-multiplication, since the missing b term is implicitly equal to 1: =. Any equation containing fractions or rational expressions can be simplified by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator.
