Multiplication table from 1 to 10 drawn to scale with the upper-right half labeled with prime factorisations. In mathematics, a multiplication table (sometimes, less formally, a times table) is a mathematical table used to define a multiplication operation for an algebraic system.
1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 4, ... φ(n) is the number of positive integers not greater than n that are coprime with n. A000010: Lucas numbers L(n) 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, ... L(n) = L(n − 1) + L(n − 2) for n ≥ 2, with L(0) = 2 and L(1) = 1. A000032: Prime numbers p n: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, ... The prime numbers p ...
The duodecimal system, also known as base twelve or dozenal, is a positional numeral system using twelve as its base. In duodecimal, the number twelve is denoted "10", meaning 1 twelve and 0 units; in the decimal system, this number is instead written as "12" meaning 1 ten and 2 units, and the string "10" means ten.
6 1 2 1 1 −1 4 5 9. and would be written in modern notation as 6 1 / 4 , 1 1 / 5 , and 2 − 1 / 9 (i.e., 1 8 / 9 ). The horizontal fraction bar is first attested in the work of Al-Hassār (fl. 1200), [35] a Muslim mathematician from Fez, Morocco, who specialized in Islamic inheritance jurisprudence.
A six-sided die has probability 1/6 of landing on each side. In a uniform distribution on a discrete space, all probabilities are equal unit fractions. Due to the principle of indifference, probabilities of this form arise frequently in statistical calculations. [25] Unequal probabilities related to unit fractions arise in Zipf's law.
The graph forms a rectangular hyperbola. In mathematics, a multiplicative inverse or reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/ x or x−1, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1. The multiplicative inverse of a fraction a / b is b / a. For the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number.
1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256 + ⋯. Archimedes' figure with a = 3 4 . In mathematics, the infinite series 1 4 + 1 16 + 1 64 + 1 256 + ⋯ is an example of one of the first infinite series to be summed in the history of mathematics; it was used by Archimedes circa 250–200 BC. [1] As it is a geometric series ...
Quantile. Probability density of a normal distribution, with quantiles shown. The area below the red curve is the same in the intervals (−∞,Q1), (Q1,Q2), (Q2,Q3), and (Q3,+∞). In statistics and probability, quantiles are cut points dividing the range of a probability distribution into continuous intervals with equal probabilities, or ...
