  2. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_calculation

    The products of small numbers may be calculated by using the squares of integers; for example, to calculate 13 × 17, one can remark 15 is the mean of the two factors, and think of it as (15 − 2) × (15 + 2), i.e. 15 2 − 2 2. Knowing that 15 2 is 225 and 2 2 is 4, simple subtraction shows that 225 − 4 = 221, which is the desired product.

  3. Windows Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Calculator

    A simple arithmetic calculator was first included with Windows 1.0. [5]In Windows 3.0, a scientific mode was added, which included exponents and roots, logarithms, factorial-based functions, trigonometry (supports radian, degree and gradians angles), base conversions (2, 8, 10, 16), logic operations, statistical functions such as single variable statistics and linear regression.

  4. Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator

    Made in Japan, this was also the first calculator to use an LED display, the first hand-held calculator to use a single integrated circuit (then proclaimed as a "calculator on a chip"), the Mostek MK6010, and the first electronic calculator to run off replaceable batteries. Using four AA-size cells the LE-120A measures 4.9 by 2.8 by 0.9 inches ...

    Formula weight calculator: The input is a chemical molecular formula, using the periodic-table symbols and notation, and there is a button to work out the percentages of its constituents. Astronomical calculator : The input is a date and one or multiple celestial bodies (usually the sun, moon, planets, planetoids or comets).

  6. Baker percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_percentage

    An ingredient's mass is obtained by multiplying the formula mass by that ingredient's true percentage; because an ingredient's true percentage is that ingredient's baker's percentage divided by the formula percentage expressed as parts per hundred, an ingredient's mass can also be obtained by multiplying the formula mass by the ingredient's ...

    It has the symbols I, V, X, L, C, D, M as its basic numerals to represent the numbers 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1000. [33] A numeral system is positional if the position of a basic numeral in a compound expression determines its value. Positional numeral systems have a radix that acts as a multiplicand of the different positions. For each ...

  8. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    The field of numerical analysis predates the invention of modern computers by many centuries. Linear interpolation was already in use more than 2000 years ago. Many great mathematicians of the past were preoccupied by numerical analysis, [5] as is obvious from the names of important algorithms like Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's method.

  9. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Calculate the remainders left by each product on dividing by 7. Add these remainders. The remainder of the sum when divided by 7 is the remainder of the given number when divided by 7. For example: The number 194,536 leaves a remainder of 6 on dividing by 7. The number 510,517,813 leaves a remainder of 1 on dividing by 7.
