Comment puis-je taper [math]text{divisor},)overline{,text{dividend},,}[/math] (le symbole de la gazinta de la division longue) sur un ordinateur ?
J'ai souvent déploré l'absence d'un moyen simple de taper :
- [math]N- N- N- N- N- N- 1646090.6[/math]
[math]6,)overline{,9876543.6,,}[/math]- et obtenir quelque chose qui a vraiment l'air décent.
- Note : Sur mon écran Windows, ce qui précède s'aligne bien, mais cela pourrait ne pas s'aligner pour vous. J'ai dû expérimenter avec des codes pour que ça s'aligne (beaucoup d'essais et d'erreurs).
- Voici le code avec lequel j'ai fini :
[ math ] ,,,,,,,,,,1646090.6 [ / math ]
[ math ] 6,)overline{,9876543.6,,} [ / math ]
We could, of course, just use the typewriter method, underscores on one line, then divisor ) dividend on the line below it, sort of like this, but I have to use dots to move the underscores over to the right:
- · · ________
6 ) 9866- It’s a shame that Quora does not let us type multiple spaces.
Character Map has the “ ⸏” character which is a bit lower than a “_”
- . . .⸏⸏⸏⸏
6 ) 966- but it types funny, shifting to the left⸏ from where you type it. I find the simple _____ easier to type, but the [ math ] code is still prettier.
Alternate division symbols
It is easy to type ÷ by using ALT+246
(or ÷ by using ALT+0247) with a Microsoft Windows computer.
You can use a fraction to show what it is you want to divide:
- [ math ] frac { numerator } { denominator } [ / math ]
- but get rid of all the spaces to see, for example,
- [math]frac{9266}{6}[/math]
We can do a radical, so it seems ridiculous that we can’t type long division as easily. Here’s how to type a radical.
- [ math ] sqrt { radicand } [ / math]
- [math]sqrt{1000}[/math]
- [ math ] sqrt [root] {radicand} [ / math]
- [math]sqrt[3]{100}[/math]
Perhaps someday, Quora will give us more capability.
Okay, I’m done editing and reediting, Andrew, you can make some suggestions.
