A proper prime is a prime p which ends in the digit 1 in base 10 and whose reciprocal in base 10 has a repetend with length p − 1. In such primes, each digit 0, 1,..., 9 appears in the repeating sequence the same number of times as does each other digit (namely, p − 1 / 10 times). They are: [10]: 166
In base 10, ten different digits 0, ..., 9 are used and the position of a digit is used to signify the power of ten that the digit is to be multiplied with, as in 304 = 3×100 + 0×10 + 4×1 or more precisely 3×10 2 + 0×10 1 + 4×10 0. Zero, which is not needed in the other systems, is of crucial importance here, in order to be able to "skip ...
L: a single digit representing the theoretical optimal lift coefficient at ideal angle of attack C LI = 0.15 L (this is not the same as the lift coefficient C L), P: a single digit for the x coordinate of the point of maximum camber (max. camber at x = 0.05 P), S: a single digit indicating whether the camber is simple (S = 0) or reflex (S = 1),

In the event that an invalid entry (any BCD digit greater than 1001) exists, 6 is added to generate a carry bit and cause the sum to become a valid entry.
However, in case of negative numbers, there are various conflicting ways to extend the fractional part function to them: It is either defined in the same way as for positive numbers, i.e., by = ⌊ ⌋ (Graham, Knuth & Patashnik 1992), [6] or as the part of the number to the right of the radix point = | | ⌊ | | ⌋ (Daintith 2004), [7] or by the odd function: [8]
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. IBM defines that, in the latter case, a digit with the smaller magnitude shall be selected ...
In positional number systems (such as the usual decimal notation for representing numbers), the digit 0 plays the role of a placeholder, indicating that certain powers of the base do not contribute. For example, the decimal number 205 is the sum of two hundreds and five ones, with the 0 digit indicating that no tens are added.
In the balanced ternary system the value of a digit n places left of the radix point is the product of the digit and 3 n. This is useful when converting between decimal and balanced ternary. In the following the strings denoting balanced ternary carry the suffix, bal3. For instance, 10 bal3 = 1 × 3 1 + 0 × 3 0 = 3 dec
