  2. Minifloat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minifloat

    A minifloat in 1 byte (8 bit) with 1 sign bit, 4 exponent bits and 3 significand bits (in short, a 1.4.3 minifloat) is demonstrated here. The exponent bias is defined as 7 to center the values around 1 to match other IEEE 754 floats [ 3 ] [ 4 ] so (for most values) the actual multiplier for exponent x is 2 x −7 .

  3. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.

  4. Rational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_number

    In mathematics, "rational" is often used as a noun abbreviating "rational number". The adjective rational sometimes means that the coefficients are rational numbers. For example, a rational point is a point with rational coordinates (i.e., a point whose coordinates are rational numbers); a rational matrix is a matrix of rational numbers; a rational polynomial may be a polynomial with rational ...

  5. Irrational number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number

    The number 2 raised to any positive integer power must be even (because it is divisible by 2) and the number 3 raised to any positive integer power must be odd (since none of its prime factors will be 2). Clearly, an integer cannot be both odd and even at the same time: we have a contradiction.

  6. Drill bit sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit_sizes

    So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch. Below is a chart providing the decimal-fraction equivalents that are most relevant to fractional-inch drill bit sizes (that is, 0 to 1 by 64ths).

  7. D'Hondt method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Hondt_method

    For illustration, continue with the above example of four parties. The advantage ratios of the four parties are 1.2 for A, 1.1 for B, 1 for C, and 0 for D. The reciprocal of the largest advantage ratio is 1/1.15 = 0.87 = 1 − π *. The residuals as shares of the total vote are 0% for A, 2.2% for B, 2.2% for C, and 8.7% for party D.

  8. Davis–Besse Nuclear Power Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davis–Besse_Nuclear_Power...

    The plant's switchyard was damaged and access to external power was disabled. The plant's reactor automatically shut down at 8:42 pm and an alert (the next to lowest of four levels of severity) was declared at 9:18 pm. The plant's emergency diesel generators powered critical facility safety systems until external power could be restored. [21] [22]

  9. Corruption in Iraq - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Iraq

    In 2021, President Barham Salih stated that US$150 billion of oil money had been stolen and smuggled out of Iraq in corrupt deals since the 2003 U.S. invasion. [1] Endemic corruption pervades Iraq's oil and gas sectors, which still accounts for more than 99 percent of the country's exports and 85 percent of the government's budget. [ 2 ]
