By default, the output value is rounded to adjust its precision to match that of the input. An input such as 1234 is interpreted as 1234 ± 0.5, while 1200 is interpreted as 1200 ± 50, and the output value is displayed accordingly, taking into account the scale factor used in the conversion.
In the United States, Canada, and Mexico, ring sizes are specified using a numerical scale with 1 ⁄ 4 steps, where whole sizes differ by 0.032 inches (0.81 mm) of internal diameter, equivalent to 0.1005 inches (2.55 mm) of internal circumference.
Coordinates were measured in grades on official French terrestrial ordnance charts from the French revolution well into the 20th century. 1 grade (or in modern symbology, 1 gon) = 0.9° or 0.01 right angle. One advantage of this measure is that the distance between latitude lines 0.01 gon apart at the equator is almost exactly 1 kilometre.
These are distinct from, and 15 times larger than, minutes and seconds of arc. 1 hour = 15° = π / 12 rad = 1 / 6 quad = 1 / 24 turn = 16 + 2 / 3 grad. (compass) point: 32: 11.25° The point or wind, used in navigation, is 1 / 32 of a turn. 1 point = 1 / 8 of a right angle = 11.25° = 12.5 grad ...
Armalcolite (/ ˌ ɑːr ˈ m ɑː l k ə l aɪ t /) is a titanium-rich mineral with the chemical formula (Mg,Fe 2+)Ti 2 O 5.It was first found at Tranquility Base on the Moon in 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission, and is named for Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, the three Apollo 11 astronauts.

Due to this criterion, the table does not include such countries as Monaco (LE 86.37 years, population 39,000), San Marino (LE 85.71 years, population 34,000), and Saint Barthélemy (LE 84.29 years, population 11,000). The values are rounded, all calculations were done on raw data.
