  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    In terms of partition, 20 / 5 means the size of each of 5 parts into which a set of size 20 is divided. For example, 20 apples divide into five groups of four apples, meaning that "twenty divided by five is equal to four". This is denoted as 20 / 5 = 4, or ⁠ 20 / 5 ⁠ = 4. [2] In the example, 20 is the dividend, 5 is the divisor, and 4 is ...

  5. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

    Place the result (+3) below the bar. 3x has been divided leaving no remainder, and can therefore be marked as used. The result 3 is then multiplied by the second term in the divisor −3 = −9. Determine the partial remainder by subtracting −4 − (−9) = 5. Mark −4 as used and place the new remainder 5 above it.

  7. Divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisor

    A number that does not evenly divide but leaves a remainder is sometimes called an aliquant part of . An integer n > 1 {\displaystyle n>1} whose only proper divisor is 1 is called a prime number . Equivalently, a prime number is a positive integer that has exactly two positive factors: 1 and itself.

  8. Remainder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remainder

    In the division of 43 by 5, we have: 43 = 8 × 5 + 3, so 3 is the least positive remainder. We also have that: 43 = 9 × 5 − 2, and −2 is the least absolute remainder. These definitions are also valid if d is negative, for example, in the division of 43 by −5, 43 = (−8) × (−5) + 3, and 3 is the least positive remainder, while,

    In fact, envy-free divisions of connected intervals to 3 or more people cannot be found by any finite protocol. For possibly-disconnected pieces the major results are: Selfridge–Conway discrete procedure produces an envy-free division for 3 people using at most 5 cuts.
