→ to calculate 

→ berechnen

addition

Addition (You ADD one number TO another number. )

subtraction

Subtraktion (You subtract one number FROM another no.)

multiplication

multiplication (You multiply one number BY another number. )

division

Division (You DIVIDE one number BY another number. )

associative law / principle 

Assoziativgesetz (The associative law states that (a +b) +c = a +(b +c).)

commutative law / principle

Kommutativgesetz (The commutative law states that a + b = b + a. )

distributive law / principle

Distributivgesetz (The distributive law states that (a + b) c = ac + bc. )

equation 
→ equal  
→ to equal 

Gleichung → gleich → gleich sein Both sides of an equation must be equal: 3 plus 4 equals 7.

formula (pl: formulae) 

Formel (Albert Einstein proposed his famous formula, E = mc 2 , concerning mass–energy equivalence in 1905. )

fraction 
line of fraction 
numerator  
denominator 

Bruch/ Bruchstrich/ Zähler/ Nenner/ ½ is a FRACTION with 1 being the NUMERATOR and 2 being the DENOMINATOR. In between there is the LINE OF FRACTION.

decimal fraction 

Dezimalbruch (Written as a decimal fraction, ½ is 0.5. )

→ decimal point 

→ Dezimalzeichen (English uses a decimal point! )

proper fraction 
improper ~ 

echter Bruch unechter ~ (In a proper fraction the numerator is smaller than the denominator, while if the numerator is larger than the denominator we would call it an improper fraction.)

to convert / change into  

umwandeln, konvertieren (The improper fraction 3 2 can be converted into a mixed number. )

recurring / repetitive  

Periode, wiederholend (One over three is nought point three recurring. )

all over 
 
bracket term 

alles über Klammerausdruck ((a + b)/x is: "open bracket, a plus b, close bracket all over x". )

to cancel (down / out) / 
to reduce 

kürzen (Cancelling the fraction 5/25 leads to 1/5. )

to extend 

erweitern (Extending the fraction 1/5 by 5 leads to 5/25.)

to factor out 

ausklammern (The addition 5 +10 can also be written as “5 x (1+2)” by factoring out the five. )

powers

Exponentialfunktionen
