  2. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

    The decimal expansion of non-negative real number x will end in zeros (or in nines) if, and only if, x is a rational number whose denominator is of the form 2 n 5 m, where m and n are non-negative integers. Proof: If the decimal expansion of x will end in zeros, or = = = = / for some n, then the denominator of x is of the form 10 n = 2 n 5 n.

  3. Integer (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_(computer_science)

    Some older computer architectures used decimal representations of integers, stored in binary-coded decimal (BCD) or other format. These values generally require data sizes of 4 bits per decimal digit (sometimes called a nibble), usually with additional bits for a sign. Many modern CPUs provide limited support for decimal integers as an extended ...

  4. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    Any real number can be written in the form m × 10 ^ n in many ways: for example, 350 can be written as 3.5 × 10 2 or 35 × 10 1 or 350 × 10 0. In normalized scientific notation (called "standard form" in the United Kingdom), the exponent n is chosen so that the absolute value of m remains at least one but less than ten (1 ≤ | m | < 10).

  5. Binary number - Wikipedia

    In the example below, the divisor is 101 2, or 5 in decimal, while the dividend is 11011 2, or 27 in decimal. The procedure is the same as that of decimal long division ; here, the divisor 101 2 goes into the first three digits 110 2 of the dividend one time, so a "1" is written on the top line.

  6. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

    The "decimal" data type of the C# and Python programming languages, and the decimal formats of the IEEE 754-2008 standard, are designed to avoid the problems of binary floating-point representations when applied to human-entered exact decimal values, and make the arithmetic always behave as expected when numbers are printed in decimal.

  7. Decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

    That is, fractions of the form a/10 n, where a is an integer, and n is a non-negative integer. Decimal fractions also result from the addition of an integer and a fractional part; the resulting sum sometimes is called a fractional number. Decimals are commonly used to approximate real numbers.

  8. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

    A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

    [51] [52] While Python 2.7 and older versions are officially unsupported, a different unofficial Python implementation, PyPy, continues to support Python 2, i.e. "2.7.18+" (plus 3.10), with the plus meaning (at least some) "backported security updates". [53] Python 3.0 was released on 3 December 2008, with some new semantics and changed syntax.
