The concept of divisor is used in the field of mathematics.
Divisor , from the Latin divisor , is a quantity by which another is divided. The integer r is divisible by an integer s if the result of the operation is a third integer t . In that case, r is said to be divisor of s ( r/s = t ).
For example: 4 is divisor of 8 since 8 divided by 4 is equal to 2 (an integer ). On the other hand, 5 is not a divisor of 8 , because if we perform this operation the result will not be an integer, but 1.6 .
Relationship between the divisor and the dividend
In the structure of the division arithmetic operation , the divisor is the number that is contained x times in another, the so-called dividend .
A concept that is equivalent to the divisor, although approached from the inverse perspective, is the submultiple (the number that another contains exactly two or more times). Returning to our previous example, we can say that 4 is a submultiple of 8 , since 4 x 2 = 8 .
A divisor is a quantity by which another is divided.
Different types
The common divisor is a type of divisor through which 2 or more numbers are exactly divisible. The greatest common divisor , for its part, is the greatest common divisor of two numbers or more.
A frequency divider , in electronics , is a device that allows obtaining an output frequency lower than the input frequency. These devices usually work with digital counters.
A voltage divider , on the other hand, is a type of configuration that is applied to an electrical circuit and that allows the voltage of a source to be distributed among several impedances that have a series connection.
As an adjective, divider is anything that allows you to divide or separate something : “I'm going to buy a divider panel to separate the computers and work more comfortably,” “With a divider screen, you can separate the kitchen from the living room.”
signal splitter
In recent years, and especially in relation to virtual video streaming services such as YouTube, the concept of " splitter " has become very popular. The term comes from English and is usually translated as "distributor" or "divider." It refers to a box that is responsible for dividing the audio and video signal from a device such as a video game console or a Blu-ray player for use on two screens.
Consumers tirelessly search for the Holy Grail of splitters , one capable of providing impeccable video quality, in true high resolution (known as 1080p), that does not reveal any type of sacrifice in image or sound and that sell at a very affordable price. So far, all these characteristics have not been met by any product, although those who want good results know that the economic investment will be highly rewarded.
We live in an era in which we look more than we read; Although it is not correct to generalize, since there are millions of people who prefer to carefully review descriptive and technical texts of products before deciding to buy them, it is very common for people to lean towards a video analysis . And these have become part of today's culture, mainly because reviewers do not need to pay to publish their productions, which allows for a great diversity of styles.
Before purchasing a splitter, it is necessary to know the type of video signal sent from the source device; If it is a relatively old device or one that simply does not have a digital output but, for example, RCA, then the price of the splitter will be much cheaper, since a considerably smaller number of pixels will need to be duplicated than in the case of HDMI or DVI.
