The x87 FPU has instructions to convert 10-byte (18 decimal digits) packed decimal data, although it then operates on them as floating-point numbers. The Motorola 68000 series offered both conversion utilities as well as the ability to directly add and subtract in BCD. [12] These instructions were removed when the Coldfire instruction set was ...
Convert the fraction part using the following technique as shown here; Add the two results and adjust them to produce a proper final conversion; Conversion of the fractional part: Consider 0.375, the fractional part of 12.375. To convert it into a binary fraction, multiply the fraction by 2, take the integer part and repeat with the new ...
Converting a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, first remove the × 10 n on the end, then shift the decimal separator n digits to the right (positive n) or left (negative n). The number 1.2304 × 10 6 would have its decimal separator shifted 6 digits to the right and become 1,230,400 , while −4.0321 × 10 −3 would have its ...
The first American-made pocket-sized calculator, the Bowmar 901B (popularly termed The Bowmar Brain), measuring 5.2 by 3.0 by 1.5 inches (132 mm × 76 mm × 38 mm), came out in the Autumn of 1971, with four functions and an eight-digit red LED display, for US$240, while in August 1972 the four-function Sinclair Executive became the first ...
To convert a number k to decimal, use the formula that defines its base-8 representation: k = ∑ i = 0 n ( a i × 8 i ) {\displaystyle k=\sum _{i=0}^{n}\left(a_{i}\times 8^{i}\right)} In this formula, a i is an individual octal digit being converted, where i is the position of the digit (counting from 0 for the right-most digit).
0.00034 has 2 significant figures (3 and 4) if the resolution is 0.00001. Zeros to the right of the last non-zero digit (trailing zeros) in a number with the decimal point are significant if they are within the measurement or reporting resolution. 1.200 has four significant figures (1, 2, 0, and 0) if they are allowed by the measurement resolution.

The first truly pocket-sized electronic calculator was the Busicom LE-120A "HANDY", the first single-chip calculator to be built, released in February 1971. [112] The Busicom 141-PF desktop calculator, released in March 1971, was the first computing machine to use a microprocessor , the 4-bit Intel 4004 (co-designed by Busicom's Masatoshi Shima ).
