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, 1 ⁄ 2, 1 ⁄ 4, 1 ⁄ 8, 1 ⁄ 16, 1 ⁄ 32, 1 ⁄ 64). Each 64th is about 16 thou.
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).
It is 10 rather than 0, because one borrowed from the Thousands place. 75 > 44 so no need to borrow, say "two hundred" Tens: 7 − 4 = 3, 5 > 4, so 5 - 4 = 1 Hence, the result is 2231. Calculating products: a × b
Alternatively, and for greater numbers, one may say for 1 ⁄ 2 "one over two", for 5 ⁄ 8 "five over eight", and so on. This "over" form is also widely used in mathematics. Fractions together with an integer are read as follows: 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 is "one and a half" 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 is "six and a quarter" 7 + 5 ⁄ 8 is "seven and five eighths"

An example of a fraction that cannot be represented by a decimal expression (with a finite number of digits) is 1 / 3 , 3 not being a power of 10. More generally, a decimal with n digits after the separator (a point or comma) represents the fraction with denominator 10 n , whose numerator is the integer obtained by removing the separator.
