    n 5 n 4 n 3 n 2 4 0 s 4 s 3 s 2 s 1 4 4 1 Borrowing 1 from n 1 (which is now 4) leaves 3, so s 1 must be 4, and therefore n 2 as well. So now it looks like: n 5 n 4 n 3 4 4 0 s 4 s 3 s 2 4 4 4 1 But the same reasoning again applies to N' as applied to N, so the next digit of N' is 4, so s 2 and n 3 are also 4, etc. There are 5 divisions; the ...

    Here, 7 − 9 = −2, so try (10 − 9) + 7 = 8, and the 10 is got by taking ("borrowing") 1 from the next digit to the left. There are two ways in which this is commonly taught: The ten is moved from the next digit left, leaving in this example 3 − 1 in the tens column.

  4. Ternary numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_numeral_system

    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.

  5. Elementary arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_arithmetic

    The sum of two numbers is unique; there is only one correct answer for a sums. [8] When the sum of a pair of digits results in a two-digit number, the "tens" digit is referred to as the "carry digit". [9] In elementary arithmetic, students typically learn to add whole numbers and may also learn about topics such as negative numbers and fractions.

  6. Balanced ternary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_ternary

    Balanced ternary is a ternary numeral system (i.e. base 3 with three digits) that uses a balanced signed-digit representation of the integers in which the digits have the values −1, 0, and 1. This stands in contrast to the standard (unbalanced) ternary system, in which digits have values 0, 1 and 2.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_types_of_numbers

    Such a number is algebraic and can be expressed as the sum of a rational number and the square root of a rational number. Constructible number: A number representing a length that can be constructed using a compass and straightedge. Constructible numbers form a subfield of the field of algebraic numbers, and include the quadratic surds.

  8. Numeral prefix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix

    In Latin and Greek, the ordinal forms are also used for fractions for amounts higher than 2; only the fraction ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ has special forms. The same suffix may be used with more than one category of number, as for example the orginary numbers second ary and terti ary and the distributive numbers bi nary and ter nary .

  9. 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).
