A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
Rational numbers (): Numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of an integer to a non-zero integer. [3] All integers are rational, but there are rational numbers that are not integers, such as −2/9. Real numbers (): Numbers that correspond to points along a line. They can be positive, negative, or zero. All rational numbers are real, but the ...
A number has a terminating or repeating expansion if and only if it is rational; this does not depend on the base. A number that terminates in one base may repeat in another (thus 0.3 10 = 0.0100110011001... 2). An irrational number stays aperiodic (with an infinite number of non-repeating digits) in all integral bases.
Using all numbers and all letters except I and O; the smallest base where 1 / 2 terminates and all of 1 / 2 to 1 / 18 have periods of 4 or shorter. 35: Covers the ten decimal digits and all letters of the English alphabet, apart from not distinguishing 0 from O. 36: Hexatrigesimal [57] [58]
A number that has the same number of digits as the number of digits in its prime factorization, including exponents but excluding exponents equal to 1. A046758: Extravagant numbers: 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 38, ... A number that has fewer digits than the number of digits in its prime factorization (including ...
A cluster prime is a prime p such that every even natural number k ≤ p − 3 is the difference of two primes not exceeding p. 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, ... (OEIS: A038134) All odd primes between 3 and 89, inclusive, are cluster primes. The first 10 primes that are not cluster primes are: 2, 97, 127, 149, 191, 211, 223, 227, 229, 251.
Some or all of the digits in the transient can be zeros. A subsequent repetend which is the same as that for the fraction 1 / p k q ℓ ⋯ . For example 1 / 28 = 0.03 571428: a = 2, b = 0, and the other factors p k q ℓ ⋯ = 7; there are 2 initial non-repeating digits, 03; and; there are 6 repeating digits, 571428, the same ...
