  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    The number 12565, for instance, has digit sum 1+2+5+6+5 = 19, which, in turn, has digit sum 1+9=10, which, in its turn has digit sum 1+0=1, a single-digit number. The digital root of 12565 is therefore 1, and its computation has the effect of casting out (12565 - 1)/9 = 1396 lots of 9 from 12565.

    14,179: the number of digits is odd (5) → 417 − 1 − 9 = 407: 0 − 4 − 7 = −11 = −1 × 11. 12: It is divisible by 3 and by 4. [6] 324: it is divisible by 3 and by 4. Subtract the last digit from twice the rest. The result must be divisible by 12. 324: 32 × 2 − 4 = 60 = 5 × 12. 13: Form the alternating sum of blocks of three from ...

    For instance, 7 divided by 2 is not a whole number but 3.5. [73] One way to ensure that the result is an integer is to round the result to a whole number. However, this method leads to inaccuracies as the original value is altered. [ 74 ]

  7. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

    Divide the highest term of the remainder by the highest term of the divisor (3x ÷ x = 3). 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 − (− ...

    d() is the number of positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itself; σ() is the sum of the positive divisors of n, including 1 and n itselfs() is the sum of the proper divisors of n, including 1 but not n itself; that is, s(n) = σ(n) − n

    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,
