Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and remained the usual way of writing numbers throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages.Numbers are written with combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet, each with a fixed integer value.
Bijective numeration is any numeral system in which every non-negative integer can be represented in exactly one way using a finite string of digits.The name refers to the bijection (i.e. one-to-one correspondence) that exists in this case between the set of non-negative integers and the set of finite strings using a finite set of symbols (the "digits").
This is a linear Diophantine equation, related to Bézout's identity. + = + The smallest nontrivial solution in positive integers is 12 3 + 1 3 = 9 3 + 10 3 = 1729.It was famously given as an evident property of 1729, a taxicab number (also named Hardy–Ramanujan number) by Ramanujan to Hardy while meeting in 1917.

Find an integer such that its product with a given integer being increased or decreased by another given integer and then divided by a third integer leaves no remainder. Letting the integer to be determined be x and the three integers be a, b and c, the problem is to find x such that (ax ± b)/c is an integer y.
Rational numbers (): Numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of an integer to a non-zero integer. [3] All integers are rational, but there are rational numbers that are not integers, such as −2/9. Real numbers (): Numbers that correspond to points along a line. They can be positive, negative, or zero.
This is a list of the instructions that make up the Java bytecode, an abstract machine language that is ultimately executed by the Java virtual machine. [1] The Java bytecode is generated from languages running on the Java Platform, most notably the Java programming language.
Archimedes's cattle problem (or the problema bovinum or problema Archimedis) is a problem in Diophantine analysis, the study of polynomial equations with integer solutions. Attributed to Archimedes , the problem involves computing the number of cattle in a herd of the sun god from a given set of restrictions.
A Diophantine equation, in general, is one where the solutions are restricted to some algebraic system, typically integers. (In another usage ) Diophantine refers to the Hellenistic mathematician of the 3rd century, Diophantus of Alexandria , who made initial studies of integer Diophantine equations.
