Some Greek measures of length were named after parts of the body, such as the δάκτυλος (daktylos, plural: δάκτυλοι daktyloi) or finger (having the size of a thumb), and the πούς (pous, plural: πόδες podes) or foot (having the size of a shoe).
It can be named by its Schläfli symbol {4,3 8}, being composed of 3 9-cubes around each 8-face. It is sometimes called a dekeract , a portmanteau of tesseract (the 4-cube ) and deka- for ten (dimensions) in Greek , It can also be called an icosaronnon or icosa-10-tope as a 10 dimensional polytope , constructed from 20 regular facets .
Thus πδ represents an 84° arc, and the ∠′ after it means one-half, so that πδ∠′ means 84 + 1 ⁄ 2 °. In the next column we see π μα γ , meaning 80 + 41 / 60 + 3 / 60² . That is the length of the chord corresponding to an arc of 84 + 1 ⁄ 2 ° when the diameter of the circle is 120.

For instance, 1/3+1/4 = 7/12, so a notation like would represent the number that would now more commonly be written as the mixed number , or simply the improper fraction . Notation of this form can be distinguished from sequences of numerators and denominators sharing a fraction bar by the visible break in the bar.
10 (ten) is the even natural number following 9 and preceding 11. Ten is the base of the decimal numeral system , the most common system of denoting numbers in both spoken and written language. Linguistics
Modern scientific calculators generally have many more capabilities than the original four- or five-function calculator, and the capabilities differ between manufacturers and models. The capabilities of a modern scientific calculator include: Scientific notation; Floating-point decimal arithmetic; Logarithmic functions, using both base 10 and ...
The nines' complement of a decimal digit is the number that must be added to it to produce 9; the nines' complement of 3 is 6, the nines' complement of 7 is 2, and so on, see table. To form the nines' complement of a larger number, each digit is replaced by its nines' complement. Consider the following subtraction problem:
