So a little arithmetic will suffice to solve this simple problem: We begin with the husband, who gets 25%. The son gets two shares and three daughters each get one share of the remaining 75%. …

Of these, I'm personally rather fond of "round $\frac 1 2$ to nearest even number", also known as "bankers' rounding". It's also the default rounding rule for IEEE 754 floating-point arithmetic as …

Aug 1, 2017 · The same principle applies to more than two segments: given a series of sub-trips at different speeds, if each sub-trip covers the same distance, then the average speed is the …

How does someone mathematically round a number to its nearest integer? For example 1.2 would round down to 1 and 1.7 would round up to 2

How can I solve quadratic equations using modular arithmetic? E.g. $$2x^2 + 8x + 2 = 0 \pmod{23}$$ N.b. I have changed the figures from those in my homework question because I …

May 20, 2013 · Many years ago, I noticed that $987654321/123456789 = 8.0000000729\\ldots$. I sent it in to Martin Gardner at Scientific American and he published it in his column!!! My life …
