  2. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2.Each digit is referred to as bit, or binary digit.Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices, as a preferred system of use, over various other human techniques of communication, because of ...

  3. Negative base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_base

    The common names for negative-base positional numeral systems are formed by prefixing nega-to the name of the corresponding positive-base system; for example, negadecimal (base −10) corresponds to decimal (base 10), negabinary (base −2) to binary (base 2), negaternary (base −3) to ternary (base 3), and negaquaternary (base −4) to ...

  4. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    Another common way of expressing the base is writing it as a decimal subscript after the number that is being represented (this notation is used in this article). 1111011 2 implies that the number 1111011 is a base-2 number, equal to 123 10 (a decimal notation representation), 173 8 and 7B 16 (hexadecimal).

  5. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    In mathematics, change of base can mean any of several things: Changing numeral bases , such as converting from base 2 ( binary ) to base 10 ( decimal ). This is known as base conversion .

  6. Binary prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

    The relative difference between the values in the binary and decimal interpretations increases, when using the SI prefixes as the base, from 2.4% for kilo to nearly 27% for the quetta prefix. Although the prefixes ronna and quetta have been defined, as of 2022 no names have been officially assigned to the corresponding binary prefixes.

    Smallest base which is not perfect odd power (where generalized Wagstaff numbers can be factored algebraically) for which no generalized Wagstaff primes are known. 100: Centesimal: As 100=10 2, these are two decimal digits. 121: Number expressible with two undecimal digits. 125: Number expressible with three quinary digits. 128: Using as 128=2 7.

  8. Single-precision floating-point format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floating...

    All integers with seven or fewer decimal digits, and any 2 n for a whole number −149 ≤ n ≤ 127, can be converted exactly into an IEEE 754 single-precision floating-point value. In the IEEE 754 standard, the 32-bit base-2 format is officially referred to as binary32; it was called single in IEEE 754-1985.
