That is, the value of an octal "10" is the same as a decimal "8", an octal "20" is a decimal "16", and so on. In a hexadecimal system, there are 16 digits, 0 through 9 followed, by convention, with A through F. That is, a hexadecimal "10" is the same as a decimal "16" and a hexadecimal "20" is the same as a decimal "32".
Similarly, if the final digit on the right of the decimal mark is zero—that is, if b n = 0 —it may be removed; conversely, trailing zeros may be added after the decimal mark without changing the represented number; [note 1] for example, 15 = 15.0 = 15.00 and 5.2 = 5.20 = 5.200.
In contrast to the binaryxxx formats the significands of decimal datatypes are not 'normalized' (the leading digit(s) are allowed to be "0"), and thus most values with less than 7 significant digits have multiple possible representations. 1 000 000 × 10-2 = 100 000 × 10-1 = 10 000 × 10 0 = 1 000 × 10 1 all have the value 10 000.
The 53-bit significand precision gives from 15 to 17 significant decimal digits precision (2 −53 ≈ 1.11 × 10 −16). If a decimal string with at most 15 significant digits is converted to the IEEE 754 double-precision format, giving a normal number, and then converted back to a decimal string with the same number of digits, the final ...

In sixteen dimensions, the sedenions generate a non-commutative loop of order 32, [15] and in thirty-two dimensions, there are at least 1,160,000,000 even unimodular lattices (of determinants 1 or −1); [16] which is a marked increase from the twenty-four such Niemeier lattices that exists in twenty-four dimensions, or the single lattice in ...
For example, a Q15.1 format number requires 15+1 = 16 bits, has resolution 2 −1 = 0.5, and the representable values range from −2 14 = −16384.0 to +2 14 − 2 −1 = +16383.5. In hexadecimal, the negative values range from 0x8000 to 0xFFFF followed by the non-negative ones from 0x0000 to 0x7FFF.
The VAX line of 32-bit binary computers from Digital Equipment Corporation, introduced in 1977, also includes packed decimal integer arithmetic instructions. The Burroughs Medium Systems , beginning with the Burroughs B2500 and B3500 in 1966, provides only decimal arithmetic, including decimal addressing, making it a decimal architecture.
