The repetend in repeating decimals 2001-03-21
From Sharon:
What is the name for the bar over the repetend in repeating decimals? Also, what is the name of the long division "house"?
Answered by Penny Nom.
The "goesinta" box 2001-02-07
From Bridget:
We are looking for the "proper" name of the "box" that is drawn around the dividend on a division problem:

  ___ 3)12 

It has always been a family joke to call it the "goesinta" box, but a search of several reference sources hasn't yielded an answer --

This is a question of curiosity rather than a question for homework.
