  2. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    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). The result is the same as the result of 125 divided by 5 (125/5=25). Example. If the last digit is 0. 110 (The original number) 11 0 (Take the last digit of the number, and check if it is 0 or 5)

  3. 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 ...

  4. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    Long division. In arithmetic, long division is a standard division algorithm suitable for dividing multi-digit Hindu-Arabic numerals (positional notation) that is simple enough to perform by hand. It breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps. As in all division problems, one number, called the dividend, is divided by another ...

  5. Division sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_sign

    U+00D7 × MULTIPLICATION 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. Table of divisors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_divisors

    The tables below list all of the divisors of the numbers 1 to 1000. A divisor of an integer n is an integer m, for which n / m is again an integer (which is necessarily also a divisor of n). For example, 3 is a divisor of 21, since 21/7 = 3 (and therefore 7 is also a divisor of 21). If m is a divisor of n, then so is − m.

  7. Short division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_division

    Short division. In arithmetic, short division is a division algorithm which breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps. It is an abbreviated form of long division — whereby the products are omitted and the partial remainders are notated as superscripts. As a result, a short division tableau is shorter than its long division ...

  8. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_(number)

    12 (twelve) is the natural number following 11 and preceding 13. Twelve is a superior highly composite number , divisible by the numbers from 1 to 4 , and 6 . It is the number of years required for an orbital period of Jupiter .
