  2. Fifth power (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_power_(algebra)

    In arithmetic and algebra, the fifth power or sursolid [1] of a number n is the result of multiplying five instances of n together: n 5 = n × n × n × n × n. Fifth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its fourth power, or the square of a number by its cube. The sequence of fifth powers of integers is:

  3. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    The base 3 appears 5 times in the multiplication, because the exponent is 5. Here, 243 is the 5th power of 3, or 3 raised to the 5th power. The word "raised" is usually omitted, and sometimes "power" as well, so 3 5 can be simply read "3 to the 5th", or "3 to the 5".

  5. Factorial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial

    In mathematical analysis, factorials are used in power series for the exponential function and other functions, and they also have applications in algebra, number theory, probability theory, and computer science. Much of the mathematics of the factorial function was developed beginning in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth's_up-arrow_notation

    In mathematics, Knuth's up-arrow notation is a method of notation for very large integers, introduced by Donald Knuth in 1976. [1]In his 1947 paper, [2] R. L. Goodstein introduced the specific sequence of operations that are now called hyperoperations.

  7. Square (algebra) - Wikipedia

    55, or 5 2 (5 squared), can be shown graphically using a square. Each block represents one unit, 1⋅1, and the entire square represents 55, or the area of the square. In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb "to square" is used to denote this operation.

    That is, where m is the number of miles, k is the number of kilometres and e is Euler's number. A density of one ounce per cubic foot is very close to one kilogram per cubic metre: 1 oz/ft 3 = 1 oz × 0.028349523125 kg/oz / (1 ft × 0.3048 m/ft) 3 ≈ 1.0012 kg/m 3 .

    The Q8 denominator equals 2 8 = 256; 1.5 equals 384/256; 384 is stored, 256 is inferred because it is a Q8 number. If the Q number's base is to be maintained (n remains constant) the Q number math operations must keep the denominator constant.
