Examples of divisor

divisor
Division finds the quotient of two numbers, the dividend divided by the divisor.

Finally we consider the divisors obtained by multiplying a divisor of 16 by 31.

Then, as the microstepping divisor number grows, step size repeatability degrades.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The greatest of these is 6. That is the greatest common divisor of 54 and 24.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The greatest common divisor is useful for reducing fractions to be in lowest terms.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Any positive divisor of n is a product of prime divisors of n raised to some power.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The functions half and third curry the divide function with a fixed divisor.

The other pitfall arises when the determinant is positive but the divisor is negative.

Choosing a prime number for e leaves us only to check that e is not a divisor of 3120.

  • One of two or more integers that can be exactly divided into another integer; "what are the 4 factors of 6?"
  • The number by which a dividend is divided
  • In mathematics, a divisor of an integer , also called a factor of , is an integer which divides without leaving a remainder.
  • In algebraic geometry, divisors are a generalization of codimension-1 subvarieties of algebraic varieties. Two different generalizations are in common use, Cartier divisors and Weil divisors (named for Pierre Cartier and Andru00E9 Weil by David Mumford). Both are ultimately derived from the notion of divisibility in the integers and algebraic number fields.
  • Used in construction of stock indices. Suppose there 10 stocks in an index, each worth $10 and the index is at 100. Now suppose that one of the stocks must be replaced with another stock that is worth $20. ...
  • A mathematical quantity used to compute an index. It is initially an arbitrary number that reduces the index value to a small, workable number. Thereafter the divisor is adjusted for stock splits (price-weighted index) or additional issues of stock (capitalization weighted index).
  • Left hand [L], PO away, FO > DS, is held out like the symbol for long division, then the right hand [1] points to the position of the divisor to the left of the "L". This is true despite handedness because of the shape of the long division symbol.
  • Another term for denominator.
  • In a / b = c, b is the divisor.
