  2. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    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 ...

  3. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    The result is the same as the result of 40 divided by 5(40/5 = 8). If the last digit in the number is 5, then the result will be the remaining digits multiplied by two, plus one. For example, the number 125 ends in a 5, so take the remaining digits (12), multiply them by two (12 × 2 = 24), then add one (24 + 1 = 25).

  4. Division by two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_two

    Division by two. An orange that has been sliced into two halves. In mathematics, division by two or halving has also been called mediation or dimidiation. [ 1] The treatment of this as a different operation from multiplication and division by other numbers goes back to the ancient Egyptians, whose multiplication algorithm used division by two ...

  5. Division sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_sign

    The division sign ( ÷) is a mathematical symbol consisting of a short horizontal line with a dot above and another dot below, used in Anglophone countries to indicate the operation of division. This usage, though widespread in some countries, is not universal and the symbol has a different meaning in other countries.

  6. Division by infinity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_infinity

    The hyperbola = /.As approaches ∞, approaches 0.. In mathematics, division by infinity is division where the divisor (denominator) is ∞.In ordinary arithmetic, this does not have a well-defined meaning, since ∞ is a mathematical concept that does not correspond to a specific number, and moreover, there is no nonzero real number that, when added to itself an infinite number of times ...

  7. Approximations of π - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximations_of_π

    In other words, begin by choosing a value for r. Consider all cells (x, y) in which both x and y are integers between − r and r. Starting at 0, add 1 for each cell whose distance to the origin (0,0) is less than or equal to r. When finished, divide the sum, representing the area of a circle of radius r, by r 2 to find the approximation of π.

  8. Dividing a circle into areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividing_a_circle_into_areas

    In geometry, the problem of dividing a circle into areas by means of an inscribed polygon with n sides in such a way as to maximise the number of areas created by the edges and diagonals, sometimes called Moser 's circle problem, has a solution by an inductive method. The greatest possible number of regions, rG = , giving the sequence 1, 2, 4 ...

    R ∗ = 8.314 32 × 10 3 N⋅m⋅kmol −1 ⋅K −1 = 8.314 32 J⋅K −1 ⋅mol −1. Note the use of the kilomole, with the resulting factor of 1000 in the constant. The USSA1976 acknowledges that this value is not consistent with the cited values for the Avogadro constant and the Boltzmann constant. [ 13 ]
