  2. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    If necessary, simplify the long division problem by moving the decimals of the divisor and dividend by the same number of decimal places, to the right (or to the left), so that the decimal of the divisor is to the right of the last digit. When doing long division, keep the numbers lined up straight from top to bottom under the tableau.

  3. 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.

  4. Galley division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_division

    However, Lam Lay Yong's research pointed out that the galley method of division originated in the 1st century AD in ancient China. [1] The galley method writes fewer figures than long division, and results in interesting shapes and pictures as it expands both above and below the initial lines. It was the preferred method of division for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_debugging

    Using the approach of trying several possible solutions of hardware or software problem at the same time, in the hope that one of the solutions (typically source code modifications) will work. [ 3 ] Shotgun debugging has a relatively low success rate and can be very time-consuming, except when used as an attempt to work around programming ...

  7. Polynomial long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_long_division

    Blomqvist's method [1] is an abbreviated version of the long division above. This pen-and-paper method uses the same algorithm as polynomial long division, but mental calculation is used to determine remainders. This requires less writing, and can therefore be a faster method once mastered.

  8. Ruffini's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruffini's_rule

    Here is an example of polynomial division as described above. Let: = +() = +P(x) will be divided by Q(x) using Ruffini's rule.The main problem is that Q(x) is not a binomial of the form x − r, but rather x + r.

  9. Calculator input methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator_input_methods

    Infix notation is a method similar to immediate execution with AESH and/or AESP, but unary operations are input into the calculator in the same order as they are written on paper. Calculators that use infix notation tend to incorporate a dot-matrix display to display the expression being entered, frequently accompanied by a seven-segment ...
