  2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    Every terminating decimal representation can be written as a decimal fraction, a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 1585 / 1000 ⁠); it may also be written as a ratio of the form ⁠ k / 2 n ·5 m ⁠ (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 317 / 2 3 ·5 2 ⁠).

  3. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    Another common way of expressing the base is writing it as a decimal subscript after the number that is being represented (this notation is used in this article). 1111011 2 implies that the number 1111011 is a base-2 number, equal to 123 10 (a decimal notation representation), 173 8 and 7B 16 (hexadecimal).

  4. Guess 2/3 of the average - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guess_2/3_of_the_average

    In game theory, "guess ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ of the average" is a game where players simultaneously select a real number between 0 and 100, inclusive. The winner of the game is the player(s) who select a number closest to ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ of the average of numbers chosen by all players.

  5. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

    Also the converse is true: The decimal expansion of a rational number is either finite, or endlessly repeating. Finite decimal representations can also be seen as a special case of infinite repeating decimal representations. For example, 36 ⁄ 25 = 1.44 = 1.4400000...; the endlessly repeated sequence is the one-digit sequence "0".

    3 0 sin + 2 x 3 0 cos = The 1 + 2 × 3 {\displaystyle 1+2\times 3} examples have been given twice. The first version is for simple calculators, showing how it is necessary to rearrange operands in order to get the correct result.

    Here the 'IEEE 754 double value' resulting of the 15 bit figure is 3.330560653658221E-15, which is rounded by Excel for the 'user interface' to 15 digits 3.33056065365822E-15, and then displayed with 30 decimals digits gets one 'fake zero' added, thus the 'binary' and 'decimal' values in the sample are identical only in display, the values ...

  8. Fractional part - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_part

    [3] [4] The word mantissa was introduced by Henry Briggs. [5] For a positive number written in a conventional positional numeral system (such as binary or decimal), its fractional part hence corresponds to the digits appearing after the radix point, such as the decimal point in English. The result is a real number in the half-open interval [0, 1

  9. Method of complements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_complements

    The nines' complement of a number given in decimal representation is formed by replacing each digit with nine minus that digit. To subtract a decimal number y (the subtrahend) from another number x (the minuend) two methods may be used: In the first method, the nines' complement of x is added to y. Then the nines' complement of the result ...
