  2. Subtraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

    The subtraction of a real number (the subtrahend) from another (the minuend) can then be defined as the addition of the minuend and the additive inverse of the subtrahend. For example, 3 − π = 3 + (−π). Alternatively, instead of requiring these unary operations, the binary operations of subtraction and division can be taken as basic.

  3. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    The nines' complement of a number given in decimal representation is formed by replacing each digit with nine minus that digit. To subtract a decimal number y (the subtrahend) from another number x (the minuend) two methods may be used: In the first method, the nines' complement of x is added to y. Then the nines' complement of the result ...

  4. Difference of Gaussians - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_of_Gaussians

    obtained by subtracting the higher-variance Gaussian from the lower-variance Gaussian. The difference of Gaussian operator is the convolutional operator associated with this kernel function. So given an n -dimensional grayscale image I : R n → R {\\displaystyle I:\\mathbb {R} ^{n}\\rightarrow \\mathbb {R} } , the difference of Gaussians of ...

  5. Catastrophic cancellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catastrophic_cancellation

    Given numbers and , the naive attempt to compute the mathematical function by the floating-point arithmetic ⁡ (⁡ ⁡ ()) is subject to catastrophic cancellation when and are close in magnitude, because the subtraction can expose the rounding errors in the squaring.

  6. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    A subtraction problem such as is solved by borrowing a 10 from the tens place to add to the ones place in order to facilitate the subtraction. Subtracting 9 from 6 involves borrowing a 10 from the tens place, making the problem into +. This is indicated by crossing out the 8, writing a 7 above it, and writing a 1 above the 6.

  7. Kaprekar's routine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaprekar's_routine

    In number theory, Kaprekar's routine is an iterative algorithm named after its inventor, Indian mathematician D. R. Kaprekar. Each iteration starts with a number, sorts the digits into descending and ascending order, and calculates the difference between the two new numbers. As an example, starting with the number 8991 in base 10: 9981 – 1899 ...

  8. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    The basic rule for divisibility by 4 is that if the number formed by the last two digits in a number is divisible by 4, the original number is divisible by 4; [2] [3] this is because 100 is divisible by 4 and so adding hundreds, thousands, etc. is simply adding another number that is divisible by 4. If any number ends in a two digit number that ...

  9. Ones' complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ones'_complement

    The ones' complement of a binary number is the value obtained by inverting (flipping) all the bits in the binary representation of the number. The name "ones' complement" [1] refers to the fact that such an inverted value, if added to the original, would always produce an "all ones" number (the term "complement" refers to such pairs of mutually additive inverse numbers, here in respect to a ...
