    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

    In chemistry the negative of the decimal logarithm, the decimal cologarithm, is indicated by the letter p. [63] For instance, pH is the decimal cologarithm of the activity of hydronium ions (the form hydrogen ions H + take in water). [64] The activity of hydronium ions in neutral water is 10 −7 mol·L −1, hence a pH of 7. Vinegar typically ...

    A real number can be expressed by a finite number of decimal digits only if it is rational and its fractional part has a denominator whose prime factors are 2 or 5 or both, because these are the prime factors of 10, the base of the decimal system. Thus, for example, one half is 0.5, one fifth is 0.2, one-tenth is 0.1, and one fiftieth is 0.02.

    For example, the quad-dotted IP address in the illustration (172.16.254.1) represents the 32-bit decimal number 2886794753, which in hexadecimal format is 0xAC10FE01. CIDR notation combines the address with its routing prefix in a compact format, in which the address is followed by a slash character (/) and the count of leading consecutive 1 ...
