History of Egyptian Fractions: May 2006
http://historyofegyptianfractions.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
History of Egyptian Fractions. The History of Egyptian fractions will be reported from two points of view. First, beginning with the oldest texts, Middle Kingdom Egyptian mathematics will be parsed. Second, the newest text, the Liber Abaci, will be parsed showing that Egyptian fraction arithmetic was continuously used for over 3,200 years. Wednesday, May 10, 2006. The second document is the Rhind Mathematical Papyru. In 1650 BCE, and a hard-to-decode 2/n table. The decoded 2/n table. Two subjects that co...

Reisner Papyrus: The Reisner Papyrus
http://reisnerpapyri.blogspot.com/2005/12/reisner-papyrus.html
This document defines the oldest form of Middle Kingdom scribal division. 'Daily' digging amounts were divided by 10, producing raw 10 man crew digging rates written in quotients and exact remainders. Remainder arithmetic was the subject of the first 6 problems in the RMP. Early researchers only mentioned aspects of the quotients and remainders written in RMP Egyptian fractions and associated 1/15 hekat daily food rations per worker. Thursday, December 08, 2005. Divide 39 by 10 = 4,. Yet, all other divis...

Akhmim Wooden Tablet: Egyptian Arithmetic (Appendix)
http://akhmimwoodentablet.blogspot.com/2004/10/egyptian-arithmetic-appendix.html
The AWT partitioned a hekat unity (64/64) five times. The unity was multiplied by 1/3, 1/7, 1/10, 1/11 and 1/13. Five binary hekat quotients (Q/64) plus 1/320 of a hekat (ro) scaled remainders were recorded. The five two-part [(Q/64) (5R/n)(ro)] answers were proved by multiplying 3, 7, 10, 11 and 13 and returning (64/64) hekat unity five times. Monday, October 18, 2004. INTRODUCTION: Defining any arithmetic system, at any time,. Or anywhere, requires the use of numbers. In the Egyptian. 5, not a pure bas...
