  2. Googol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Googol

    The decay time for a supermassive black hole of roughly 1 galaxy-mass (10 11 solar masses) due to Hawking radiation is on the order of 10 100 years. [7] Therefore, the heat death of an expanding universe is lower-bounded to occur at least one googol years in the future. A googol is considerably smaller than a centillion. [8]

  3. Thousandth of an inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch

    Until then, workers such as millwrights, boilermakers, and machinists in the Anglosphere measured only in traditional fractions of an inch, divided via successive halving, usually only as far as 64ths (1, 12, 1 ⁄ 4, 1 ⁄ 8, 1 ⁄ 16, 132, 1 ⁄ 64). Each 64th is about 16 thou.

  4. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    With decimal arithmetic, final digits of 0 and 5 are avoided; if there is a choice between numbers with the least significant digit 0 or 1, 4 or 5, 5 or 6, 9 or 0, then the digit different from 0 or 5 shall be selected; otherwise, the choice is arbitrary.

  5. Mill (currency) - Wikipedia

    For example, a broker that charges 5 mils per share is taking in $5 every 1000 shares traded. [dubious – discuss] [7] Additionally, in finance the term is sometimes spelled "mil". [8] Cf. basis point. Some exchanges allow prices to be accounted in ten-thousandths of a dollar ($29.4125 = 29,412.5₥ for example).

  6. TI-59 / TI-58 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-59_/_TI-58

    Here is a sample program that computes the factorial of an integer number from 2 to 69. For 5!, if "5 A" is pressed, it gives the result, 120. Unlike the SR-52, the TI-58 and TI-59 do not have the factorial function built-in, but do support it through the software module which was delivered with the calculator.

  7. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    It was cursive by rounding off rational numbers smaller than 1 to 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + 1/64, with a 1/64 term thrown away (the system was called the Eye of Horus). A number of Australian Aboriginal languages employ binary or binary-like counting systems.

  8. Calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculation

    A calculation is a deliberate mathematical process that transforms one or more inputs into one or more outputs or results.The term is used in a variety of senses, from the very definite arithmetical calculation of using an algorithm, to the vague heuristics of calculating a strategy in a competition, or calculating the chance of a successful relationship between two people.

  9. Fermat number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat_number

    Euler proved that every factor of F n must have the form k 2 n+1 + 1 (later improved to k 2 n+2 + 1 by Lucas) for n ≥ 2. That 641 is a factor of F 5 can be deduced from the equalities 641 = 2 7 × 5 + 1 and 641 = 2 4 + 5 4 .
