A division is a large military unit or formation, usually consisting of between 6,000 and 25,000 soldiers.
In most armies, a division is composed of several regiments or brigades; in turn, several divisions typically make up a corps. Historically, the division has been the default combined arms unit capable of independent operations. Smaller combined arms units, such as the American regimental combat team (RCT) during World War II, were used when conditions favored them. In recent times, modern Western militaries have begun adopting the smaller brigade combat team (similar to the RCT) as the default combined arms unit, with the division they belong to being less important.
While the focus of this article is on army divisions, in naval usage, "division" has a completely different meaning, referring to either an administrative/functional sub-unit of a department (e.g., fire control division of the weapons department) aboard naval and coast guard ships, shore commands, and in naval aviation units (including navy, marine corps, and coast guard aviation), to a sub-unit of several ships within a flotilla or squadron, or to two or three sections of aircraft operating under a designated division leader. Some languages, like Russian, Serbian, Croatian and Polish, also use a similar word, divizion/divizijun/dywizjon, for a battalion-size artillery or cavalry unit.
Hey, umm... I can't find an answer for this anywhere.
if we have a group \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z} (for sufficient p) under multiplication modulo p, is divsion defined
\frac{a}{b} = ab^{-1}
ie in \mathbb{Z}/5\mathbb{Z} = \{1,2,3,4\}; would \frac{3}{2} be (3)(2^{-1}) \equiv (3)(3) \equiv 4...
I forgot long division!
:yuck: I just realized something very scary! I totally forgot how to do long division! I can't believe it can some one please explain!
First of all i'de like to know if there is an efficiant algorithm which assembly uses to divide two numbers.
Second I'de like to know how do you divide numbers which don't fit into a register. I'm talking about an array of bytes in RAM to be divided.
10x!
I don't understand how this works :
(2x^2 - 3x+6 ) / (2x+2)
I don't really understand the case using numbers either but we never divide by a+b+c etc , (ie we just divide by a single number rather than 3+5 for example)
Please explain step by step how it works. Also, why isn't the...
What changes would have to be made to a cell
so that when it divides the genes in the daughter cells
are exactly the same,in the same order and number on the chromosomes,
as they were in the parent cell?
i'm having trouble rewriting this integral:\int\frac{e^x}{e^{2x} + 1} so that it will be in the arctan formula: should i use long divison here? if it were not for the e^x in the numerator i'd be fine.
Can somebody please tell me any case where it is logical to NOT divide by zero? I know division by zero is illogical itself, but usually when you divide by zero the result should be zero anyway. :rolleyes:
solve the following promblem
Y^(,,,)-3y^(,,)+31y^(,)-37y=0
i let y = e^kx
y'= ke^kx
y''=k^2e^kx
y'''=k^3e^kx
so i got this
k^3e^kx-3(k^2e^kx)+31(ke^kx)-37(e^kx)=0
e^kx(k^3-3K2+31k-37)=0
so,
(k^3-3K2+31k-37)=0
now i have to find (K)
how should i solve for...
I was wondering if you could help me out with this problem. Please explain how to solve using synthetic division. I need to know how to solve it.
\frac{6x^4-3x^3+5x^2+2x-6}{3x^2-2}
The answer is 2x^2-x+3
I'm trying to show that the quotient of two power series Sum(n=o, infinity)[an*z^n] and Sum(n=0, infinity)[bn*z^n] is the power series Sum(n=0, infinity)[cn*z^n] where c0=a0/b0 and b0cn= (an-Sum(k=0, infinity)[bk*c(n-k)]).
Is there a way of showing this by (Sum[bn*z^n])(Sum[cn*z^n])=Sum[an*z^n]...
Given that a polymial p(x) is
p(x)= (x-1)(x-2) q(x) + 2x+3
where q(x) is also a polynomial
Find the remainder when p(x) is divided by (x-1)(x+2) where the remainder divided by (x-1) and (x+2) is both 5 and 7 respectively. I don't know even where to start ! so please help, thanks alot.
Is there a proof of a*b=0 <--> (a=0 or b=0) that does NOT involve division? Also, my discrete math professor has claimed that mathematicians tend to avoid the concept of division. How accurate is this claim for discrete mathematicians? What is the reason for it?
It's been at least 5 years since I've used long division. I managed to do the first half but I have no clue on how to finish it. I will appreciate any kind of help.

I didn't really know where to put this, but I thought I'd post it in General Math. Any way, here's the problem, I'd like it solved step by step, please.
a4 (a to the fourth power) + Oa3 (a to the third power) + 9a2 (a squared) + Oa
divided by:
a2 (a squared) - 3a + 9

I have been trying two problems for the longest time, and no one is able to help me I am so stuck, I know how to divide polynomials using long division and synthetic division using simpler numbers but I just can't do these two questions and my course is online, so I can't even ask my teacher...
Does anyone know a way to typeset a long division in LaTeX? I'm particularly interested in:
\frac{1}{\cos x} = \frac{1}{1-\frac{x^2}{2!}+\frac{x^4}{4!}-\cdots}

Hey,
A while ago i hear about finding the division number theory [Tell how a number can be divied be another unmber as a general formula]. And i am wondering if there is a theory "desicovered" the pattern of the prime numbers. Or at least a fixed pattern for predicting some of the prime numbers...
HI
please can someone help me with this quick question on division :
If I have to do 3 divided by 4
____
4 |3
4 doesn't go into 3 so I put a zero on top .
When it gets to 4 into 2(from 30-4x7), it doesn't go, so why don't I put a zero on top but instead put a zero beside the...
From school, we've had addition, "subtraction" of vectors and then scalar multiplication, dot & cross products. I have never come across dividing a vector by another. Is there such an operation?

Hi, I'm currently reading "Calculus Made Easy" and ran into a road block. I'm reading this in my spare time so it's not school work or anything (I know some forums have policies about this is why I mention). The answer is there. I just want to know how to go about doing this problem. It...
I was learning polynomial division, and I can do most problems, except this one which is bothering me.

(1+i)x - 2
How would I divide something like that? Nothing is working. Thanks.

It's got to do with the Heaviside "cover up" method. To work out a problem, you need to multiply the opposing side by...
Hi all,
Before I ask a Q about blood cancers, can I just check - is it right that cell division of blood cells takes place only in the bone marrow (and not in the bloodstream or anywhere else)?
Thanx

If I have to find the quotient q and the remainder r and:
a = -5286
b = 19
How do I go about writing down the steps for this algorithm? I know what the answer will be, but I need to be able to use the division algorithm to prove my answer. Like I know if:
b > 0 and a < 0 (which in this...

The number 2
What if the number 2 is the origin of whole numbers? (Instead of 0)
The criteria for a whole number would contain that a whole number would primarily need to be wholly divisble by 2.
does 2/2 = 2

I think this can be...
What does it mean to multiply two physical quantities?
Ie: For electrical potential energy the equation is

What does it mean to multiply q1 and q2?
