  2. Decimal computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_computer

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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).
