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...

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...

Egyptian Math History: Least Common Multiples, modern and ancient
http://egyptianmath.blogspot.com/2008/11/least-common-multiples-modern-and.html
Egyptian fraction arithmetic appeared in the Middle Kingdom. After 2,000 BCE the Akhmim Wooden Tablet, the Reisner Papyrus, EMLR and RMP used the same remainder arithmetic. Egyptian division was inverse to Egyptian multiplication. Egyptian fraction weights and measures units methods diffused to Greek, Hellene, Coptic, Arabs and medieval eras. Ahmes' RMP 36 red auxiliary numbers scaled 2/53 imply that 2/n tables were constructed by the same methodology. Wednesday, November 12, 2008. And Ahmes 2/n table.
