The algorithm relies on the fact that every real number x where 1 < x < 2 can be represented as a product of distinct factors of the form 1 + 2 −k. The algorithm sequentially builds that product P, starting with P = 1 and k = 1: if P · (1 + 2 −k) < x, then it changes P to P · (1 + 2 −k). It then increases by one regardless.
The use of a 0 digit in place-value notation (within other numbers) dates back as early as 700 BCE by the Babylonians, who omitted such a digit when it would have been the last symbol in the number.

The prefix is followed by a two-, three- or four-digit number with no significance as to device properties, although early devices with low numbers tend to be germanium devices. For example, 2N3055 is a silicon n–p–n power transistor, 2N1301 is a p–n–p germanium switching transistor.

A 1% increase in GDP is associated with a 1.5% increase in the ethnic favouritism effect on primary school attendance.
