3.1416 is "three point one four one six" 99.3 is "ninety-nine point three"; or "ninety-nine and three tenths" (U.S., occasionally). In English the decimal point was originally printed in the center of the line (0·002), but with the advent of the typewriter it was placed at the bottom of the line, so that a single key could be used as a full ...
There are exactly twenty-seven straight lines on a smooth cubic surface, [2] which give a basis of the fundamental representation of Lie algebra. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The unique simple formally real Jordan algebra , the exceptional Jordan algebra of self-adjoint 3 by 3 matrices of quaternions , is 27-dimensional; [ 5 ] its automorphism group is the 52 ...
The formula was deciphered using infrared scanning, revealing calculations such as "five times seven is thirty plus five, four times seven is twenty plus eight, three times seven is twenty plus one." As of December 2023, this represents the earliest discovery of a nine-nine table artifact.
This system results in "two thirds" for 2 ⁄ 3 and "fifteen thirty-seconds" for 15 ⁄ 32. This system is normally used for denominators less than 100 and for many powers of 10 . Examples include "six ten-thousandths" for 6 ⁄ 10,000 and "three hundredths" for 0.03.
