Division algorithm — This article is about a mathematical theorem. For a list of division algorithms, see Division (digital). In mathematics, and more particularly in arithmetic, the usual process of division of integers producing a quotient and a remainder can be… … Wikipedia
division algorithm — Math. 1. the theorem that an integer can be written as the sum of the product of two integers, one a given positive integer, added to a positive integer smaller than the given positive integer. Cf. Euclidean algorithm. 2. any systematic process… … Useful english dictionary
Multivariate division algorithm — In mathematics, polynomials in more than one variable do not form a Euclidean domain, so it is not possible to construct a true division algorithm; but an approximate multivariate division algorithm can be constructed. Given a polynomial g,… … Wikipedia
Division (digital) — Several algorithms exist to perform division in digital designs. These algorithms fall into two main categories: slow division and fast division. Slow division algorithms produce one digit of the final quotient per iteration. Examples of slow… … Wikipedia
Division (mathematics) — Divided redirects here. For other uses, see Divided (disambiguation). For the digital implementation of mathematical division, see Division (digital). In mathematics, especially in elementary arithmetic, division (÷ … Wikipedia
Algorithm — Flow chart of an algorithm (Euclid s algorithm) for calculating the greatest common divisor (g.c.d.) of two numbers a and b in locations named A and B. The algorithm proceeds by successive subtractions in two loops: IF the test B ≤ A yields yes… … Wikipedia
Algorithm characterizations — The word algorithm does not have a generally accepted definition. Researchers are actively working in formalizing this term. This article will present some of the characterizations of the notion of algorithm in more detail. This article is a… … Wikipedia
Division polynomials — In mathematics the division polynomials provide a way to calculate multiples of points on elliptic curves over Finite fields. They play a central role in the study of counting points on elliptic curves in Schoof s algorithm. Contents 1 Definition … Wikipedia
Division by two — 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 … Wikipedia
