  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    When there are several operations that may be repeated, it is common to indicate the repeated operation by placing its symbol in the superscript, before the exponent. For example, if f is a real function whose valued can be multiplied, denotes the exponentiation with respect of multiplication, and may denote exponentiation with respect of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kummer's_theorem

    In mathematics, Kummer's theorem is a formula for the exponent of the highest power of a prime number p that divides a given binomial coefficient. In other words, it gives the p-adic valuation of a binomial coefficient. The theorem is named after Ernst Kummer, who proved it in a paper, (Kummer 1852).

  4. Arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic

    One way to calculate exponentiation with a fractional exponent is to perform two separate calculations: one exponentiation using the numerator of the exponent followed by drawing the nth root of the result based on the denominator of the exponent. For example, =. The first operation can be completed using methods like repeated multiplication or ...

    The sum of the exponent bias (127) and the exponent (1) is 128, so this is represented in the single-precision format as 0 10000000 10010010000111111011011 (excluding the hidden bit) = 40490FDB [27] as a hexadecimal number. An example of a layout for 32-bit floating point is and the 64-bit ("double") layout is similar.

  8. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In abstract algebra, given a magma with binary operation ∗ (which could nominally be termed multiplication), left division of b by a (written a \ b) is typically defined as the solution x to the equation a ∗ x = b, if this exists and is unique. Similarly, right division of b by a (written b / a) is the solution y to the equation y ∗ a = b ...

  9. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

    Every irrational fraction in which the radicals are monomials may be rationalized by finding the least common multiple of the indices of the roots, and substituting the variable for another variable with the least common multiple as exponent. In the example given, the least common multiple is 6, hence we can substitute = to obtain
