What to do when the denamintor is different numbers?

I am assuming that denamintor is your way of spelling denominator. If not, please explain what it means and we can try to answer your question.The answer depends on what you wish to do. For multiplication or division it does not matter. For addition or subtraction you will need to find the least common multiple and rename the fractions so that their denominators are the same.


Is array a multiplication or division word?

It's a multiplication word. E.g. The columns/height=5 and the rows/width=6 equals 30 (5x6=30). Or columns/height=3 and rows/width=2, so 3x2=6. It's not division. I'll explain why if you ask.

Please can you explain the binary multiplication and division method with at least one example of each?

Binary multiplication is the same as regular multiplication: _____100110 _____101100 x ------------------ __________0 _________00 ___10011000 __100110000 ______00000 10011000000 ------------------ 11010001000 You just have to remember that 1 + 1 = 10, so you have to carry the 1s whenever you add up a column. Binary division is the same as regular division, for divisions that result in whole numbers. 10100 / 101 = 100 For division with remainders, please see this website: http://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs1104/BuildingBlocks/divide.010.html

Why does a multiplication algorithm work the way it does?

The answer to this question depends on the multiplication algorithm you are working with. If you are working with an algorithm for multiplying fractions, the answer of why it works the way it does is going to be different than if you are multiplying whole numbers. If you are looking to explain multiplication algorithms to young children (and even to explain algorithms to older children or to better understand them yourself), it is useful to use physical objects and play with multiplication. Once you work out a few of the type of problem you are doing (or a scaled down version if you are working with large numbers) it will likely become clearer to you why it works the way it does.
