Boas, R. P., Jr. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1972
The problem of getting a correct result when a fraction is reduced by cancelling a digit which appears in both the numerator and the denominator is extended from the base ten situation to any number base. (DT)

Schultz, James E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
The method described here converts a given problem in a base other than ten to a related problem in base ten, solves the related problem in base ten, and converts the answer back to the original base. Limitations are discussed. (MP)

Johnston, J. H. – Mathematics in School, 1972
After briefly presenting possible origins for the use of the decimal system for counting and the duodecimal (base twelve) system for many measures, a notational scheme using six positive'' digits and six negative'' digits is presented. Examples and algorithms using this set of digits for operations with whole numbers, fractions, and in…

Pagni, David L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
The concept of prime factorization is discussed and two rules are developed: one for finding the number of divisors of a number and the other for finding the sum of the divisors. (MP)
