A module over a unit ring R is called divisible if, for all r in R which are not zero divisors, every element m of M can be "divided" by r, in the sense that there is an ...

Taking the ratio x/y of two numbers x and y, also written x÷y. Here, x is called the dividend, y is called the divisor, and x/y is called a quotient. The symbol "/" is called ...

Division by zero is the operation of taking the quotient of any number x and 0, i.e., x/0. The uniqueness of division breaks down when dividing by zero, since the product ...

The kissing number of a sphere is 12. This led Fejes Tóth (1943) to conjecture that in any unit sphere packing, the volume of any Voronoi cell around any sphere is at least ...

The dodecahedron-icosahedron compound is a polyhedron compound consisting of a dodecahedron and its dual the icosahedron. In the compound, the dodecahedron and icosahedron ...

The dodecahedron-small triambic icosahedron compound is a stellated form of a truncated icosahedron, but a different truncation than in the truncated icosahedron Archimedean ...

A (general) dodecahedron is a polyhedron having 12 faces. Examples include the Bilinski dodecahedron, decagonal prism, elongated square dipyramid (Johnson solid J_(15)), ...

A number of attractive 2-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The first (left figures) has the symmetry of the cube and arises by combining two regular ...

A compound of five regular dodecahedra with the symmetry of the icosahedron (Wenninger 1983, pp. 145-147) can be constructed by taking a dodecahedron with top and bottom ...

A number of attractive 6-compounds of the regular dodecahedron can be constructed. The first (left figures) can be obtained by combining six dodecahedra, each rotated by 1/10 ...
