    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    A digit's value is the digit multiplied by the value of its place. Place values are the number of the base raised to the n th power, where n is the number of other digits between a given digit and the radix point .

    Similarly, each successive place to the right of the separator has a place value equal to the place value of the previous digit divided by the base. For example, in the numeral 10.34 (written in base 10), the 0 is immediately to the left of the separator, so it is in the ones or units place, and is called the units digit or ones digit; [6] [7 ...

  4. Numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

    A digit (in a given position in the number) that is lower than its corresponding threshold value means that it is the most-significant digit, hence in the string this is the end of the number, and the next symbol (if present) is the least-significant digit of the next number.

    In this base 10 system, the rightmost digit of a natural number has a place value of 1, and every other digit has a place value ten times that of the place value of the digit to its right. In set theory, which is capable of acting as an axiomatic foundation for modern mathematics, [35] natural numbers can be represented by classes of equivalent ...

  6. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    For the first example, the first term has its last significant figure in the thousandths place and the second term has its last significant figure in the ones place. The leftmost or largest digit position among the last significant figures of these terms is the ones place, so the calculated result should also have its last significant figure in ...

    The smallest base greater than binary such that no three-digit narcissistic number exists. 80: Octogesimal: Used as a sub-base in Supyire. 85: Ascii85 encoding. This is the minimum number of characters needed to encode a 32 bit number into 5 printable characters in a process similar to MIME-64 encoding, since 85 5 is only slightly bigger than 2 ...

  8. Sexagesimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexagesimal

    The value of the digit was the sum of the values of its component parts: Numbers larger than 59 were indicated by multiple symbol blocks of this form in place value notation . Because there was no symbol for zero it is not always immediately obvious how a number should be interpreted, and its true value must sometimes have been determined by ...

  9. Decimal - Wikipedia

    Place value of number in decimal system. The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈ d iː n ər i / [1] or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers (decimal fractions) of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.
