  2. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    k is a decimal digit and R is a fraction that must be converted to decimal. It usually has only a single digit in the numerator, and one or two digits in the denominator, so the conversion to decimal can be done mentally. Example: find the square root of 75. 75 = 75 × 10 2 · 0, so a is 75 and n is 0.

  3. Decimal computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_computer

    The x87 FPU has instructions to convert 10-byte (18 decimal digits) packed decimal data, although it then operates on them as floating-point numbers. The Motorola 68000 series offered both conversion utilities as well as the ability to directly add and subtract in BCD. [12] These instructions were removed when the Coldfire instruction set was ...

    Conversion of the fractional part: Consider 0.375, the fractional part of 12.375. To convert it into a binary fraction, multiply the fraction by 2, take the integer part and repeat with the new fraction by 2 until a fraction of zero is found or until the precision limit is reached which is 23 fraction digits for IEEE 754 binary32 format.

  5. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Converting a number from scientific notation to decimal notation, first remove the × 10 n on the end, then shift the decimal separator n digits to the right (positive n) or left (negative n). The number 1.2304 × 10 6 would have its decimal separator shifted 6 digits to the right and become 1,230,400 , while −4.0321 × 10 −3 would have its ...

  6. Octal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal

    To convert integer decimals to octal, divide the original number by the largest possible power of 8 and divide the remainders by successively smaller powers of 8 until the power is 1. The octal representation is formed by the quotients, written in the order generated by the algorithm. For example, to convert 125 10 to octal: 125 = 8 2 × 1 + 61
