In the examples below, the numerators are all 1, however there are instances where it does not have to be, such as 2 / 7 (0. 285714). For example, consider the fractions and equivalent decimal values listed below: 1 / 7 = 0. 142857... 1 / 14 = 0.0 714285... 1 / 28 = 0.03 571428... 1 / 35 = 0.0 285714 ...

For example, in duodecimal, 1 / 2 = 0.6, 1 / 3 = 0.4, 1 / 4 = 0.3 and 1 / 6 = 0.2 all terminate; 1 / 5 = 0. 2497 repeats with period length 4, in contrast with the equivalent decimal expansion of 0.2; 1 / 7 = 0. 186A35 has period 6 in duodecimal, just as it does in decimal.
To change 1 / 3 to a decimal, divide 1.000... by 3 (" 3 into 1.000... "), and stop when the desired accuracy is obtained, e.g., at 4 decimals with 0.3333. The fraction 1 / 4 can be written exactly with two decimal digits, while the fraction 1 / 3 cannot be written exactly as a decimal with a finite number of digits.

A ternary / ˈ t ɜːr n ər i / numeral system (also called base 3 or trinary [1]) has three as its base.Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit (trinary digit).One trit is equivalent to log 2 3 (about 1.58496) bits of information.
0 (zero) is a number representing an empty quantity.Adding (or subtracting) 0 to any number leaves that number unchanged; in mathematical terminology, 0 is the additive identity of the integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers, as well as other algebraic structures.
The sum of the series is approximately equal to 1.644934. [3] The Basel problem asks for the exact sum of this series (in closed form ), as well as a proof that this sum is correct. Euler found the exact sum to be π 2 / 6 {\displaystyle \pi ^{2}/6} and announced this discovery in 1735.
