Euclid's Elements is full of algorithms for geometry, including one to find the greatest common divisor of two numbers. |
|
He gives the reader the same method of dividing fractions as taught in schools today, namely invert the divisor and multiply. |
|
Prior to publishing, he also found an upper bound on the least prime divisor of an odd perfect number. |
|
It is possible to use short division for problems having more than one digit in the divisor. |
|
But Zu would know how to reduce fractions to their lowest terms by dividing top and bottom by the greatest common divisor. |
|
We will now see how to find the greatest common divisor and the lowest common multiple of two numbers from their prime factorizations. |
|
Each time a party wins a seat, the divisor for that party increases by the same integer, which thus reduces its chances of winning the next seat. |
|
His famous Euclidean algorithm, when applied to a pair of natural numbers, leads in a finite number of steps to their greatest common divisor. |
|
Knuth offers as an example the Euclidean algorithm for determining the greatest common divisor of two natural numbers. |
|
This then becomes the divisor to determine the piece count from the weight of an unknown quantity of countable parts. |
|
The reference weight is then used as the divisor to calculate the quantity of countable parts from the weight of an unknown quantity. |
|
Any positive divisor of n is a product of prime divisors of n raised to some power. |
|
The first, Proposition 2 of Book VII, is a procedure for finding the greatest common divisor of two whole numbers. |
|
I will support a motion that refers to the best 12 weeks as the divisor, and I will gladly vote in favour of the NDP motion on Tuesday. |
|
Some of their small weeks of work would have to be used to meet the minimum divisor requirements, and would therefore not show up in the key outcome variable of this study. |
|
The researchers employed the Euclidean algorithm, an efficient way to find the greatest common divisor of two integers, to examine those public key numbers. |
|
For claimants who work fewer weeks than the divisor, this provision effectively lowers their average weekly earnings used in the calculation of their benefits, resulting in lower weekly benefits. |
|
The average insurable earnings are based on the actual weeks of work, subject to a minimum divisor that is tied to the regional rate of unemployment. |
|
The constant for the flat-rate period working time is used as the divisor. |
|
Fishers can file claims for both seasons. Benefit rates for fisher claims are determined by a minimum divisor that depends on the regional rate of unemployment. |
|
|
If an individual's number of regular weeks worked is less than the regional minimum divisor, the small weeks worked with the highest earnings are used to bring the number of weeks up to meet the regional minimum divisor. |
|
In terms of the reason why we have allowed Ontario to grow under its divisor but are not providing the bump up provided by other provinces is a very simple one: the principle of proportionate representation of the provinces. |
|
For metrological purposes the unit rad is often not suitable, since? is not a rational number, and therefore any entire number divisor of a full circle will necessarily also not be rational. |
|
If students are already taking away or multiplying and adding up larger multiples of the divisor, this is a structure that will make sense to them and be easily adopted. |
|
Then, the qualities of that year follow the nature of the divisor in everything and, in particular, the nature of the significator which the divisor refers to. |
|
The divisions were implemented by repeated subtractions of the divisor. |
|
It is a ridge in the Serra do Divisor, which rises abruptly above a vast, level plain cloaked in tall forest. |
|
Donations will support the creation of the Sierra del Divisor Reserve in Peru, a reserve in Brazil's Pantanal, and the El Jaguar Reserve in Colombia. |
