Renard series are a system of preferred numbers dividing an interval from 1 to 10 into 5, 10, 20, or 40 steps. [1] This set of preferred numbers was proposed ca. 1877 by French army engineer Colonel Charles Renard [2] [3] [4] and reportedly published in an 1886 instruction for captive balloon troops, thus receiving the current name in 1920s.

To put in perspective the size of a googol, the mass of an electron, just under 10 −30 kg, can be compared to the mass of the visible universe, estimated at between 10 50 and 10 60 kg. [5] It is a ratio in the order of about 10 80 to 10 90 , or at most one ten-billionth of a googol (0.00000001% of a googol).
A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
The first known classification of numbers as deficient, perfect or abundant was by Nicomachus in his Introductio Arithmetica (circa 100 AD), which described abundant numbers as like deformed animals with too many limbs. The abundancy index of n is the ratio σ(n)/n. [7] Distinct numbers n 1, n 2, ...

Such a number is algebraic and can be expressed as the sum of a rational number and the square root of a rational number. Constructible number: A number representing a length that can be constructed using a compass and straightedge. Constructible numbers form a subfield of the field of algebraic numbers, and include the quadratic surds.
A geometric series [20] [21] is one where each successive term is produced by multiplying the previous term by a constant number (called the common ratio in this context). For example: 1 + 1 2 + 1 4 + 1 8 + 1 16 + ⋯ = ∑ n = 0 ∞ 1 2 n = 2. {\displaystyle 1+{1 \over 2}+{1 \over 4}+{1 \over 8}+{1 \over 16}+\cdots =\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }{1 ...
