  2. Mental calculation - Wikipedia

    492 is close to 500, which is easy to multiply by. Add and subtract 8 (the difference between 500 and 492) to get 492 -> 484, 500. Multiply these numbers together to get 242,000 (This can be done efficiently by dividing 484 by 2 = 242 and multiplying by 1000). Finally, add the difference (8) squared (8 2 = 64) to the result: 492 2 = 242,064

    Multiplication can also be thought of as scaling. Here, 2 is being multiplied by 3 using scaling, giving 6 as a result. Animation for the multiplication 2 × 3 = 6 4 × 5 = 20. The large rectangle is made up of 20 squares, each 1 unit by 1 unit. Area of a cloth 4.5m × 2.5m = 11.25m 2; 4 ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × 2 ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ = 11 ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    For example, (2 + 3) × 4 = 20 forces addition to precede multiplication, while (3 + 5) 2 = 64 forces addition to precede exponentiation. If multiple pairs of parentheses are required in a mathematical expression (such as in the case of nested parentheses), the parentheses may be replaced by other types of brackets to avoid confusion, as in [2 ...

  5. Product (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, a product is the result of multiplication, or an expression that identifies objects (numbers or variables) to be multiplied, called factors.For example, 21 is the product of 3 and 7 (the result of multiplication), and (+) is the product of and (+) (indicating that the two factors should be multiplied together).

    Dividing 272 and 8, starting with the hundreds digit, 2 is not divisible by 8. Add 20 and 7 to get 27. The largest number that the divisor of 8 can be multiplied by without exceeding 27 is 3, so it is written under the tens column. Subtracting 24 (the product of 3 and 8) from 27 gives 3 as the remainder.

  7. 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 ...

    In programming languages such as Ada, [20] Fortran, [21] Perl, [22] Python [23] and Ruby, [24] a double asterisk is used, so is written as "x**2". Many programming languages and calculators use a single asterisk to represent the multiplication symbol, [ 25 ] and it must be explicitly used, for example, 3 x {\displaystyle 3x} is written "3*x".

  9. Cube (algebra) - Wikipedia

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

    With even cubes, there is considerable restriction, for only 00, o 2, e 4, o 6 and e 8 can be the last two digits of a perfect cube (where o stands for any odd digit and e for any even digit). Some cube numbers are also square numbers; for example, 64 is a square number (8 × 8) and a cube number (4 × 4 × 4) .
