Conversion of (357) 10 to binary notation results in (101100101) To convert from a base-10 integer to its base-2 (binary) equivalent, the number is divided by two. The remainder is the least-significant bit. The quotient is again divided by two; its remainder becomes the next least significant bit.
Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.
The range of dates in the Gregorian calendar of the Eastern Paschal full moon moves one day later every time there is a solar correction, so from 2100 to 2199 it will be 5 April to 9 May. At present there are five years per cycle when the Eastern Easter is several weeks later than the Western, at golden numbers 3, 8, 11, 14, and 19.
In chemistry the negative of the decimal logarithm, the decimal cologarithm, is indicated by the letter p. [63] For instance, pH is the decimal cologarithm of the activity of hydronium ions (the form hydrogen ions H + take in water). [64] The activity of hydronium ions in neutral water is 10 −7 mol·L −1, hence a pH of 7. Vinegar typically ...
One bitcoin is divisible to eight decimal places. [7]: ch. 5 Units for smaller amounts of bitcoin are the millibitcoin (mBTC), equal to 1 ⁄ 1000 bitcoin, and the satoshi [a] (sat), representing 1 ⁄ 100 000 000 (one hundred millionth) bitcoin, the smallest amount possible. [2] 100,000 satoshis are one mBTC. [68]
ENIAC's registers performed decimal arithmetic, rather than binary arithmetic like the Z3, the ABC and Colossus. Like the Colossus, ENIAC required rewiring to reprogram until April 1948. [ 90 ] In June 1948, the Manchester Baby ran its first program and earned the distinction of first electronic stored-program computer .
In 1971 the US devalued its dollar relative to gold, leading New Zealand on 23 December to peg its dollar at US$1.216 with a 4.5% fluctuation range, keeping the same gold value. From 9 July 1973 to 4 March 1985 the dollar's value was determined from a trade-weighted basket of currencies.
