3.125 RPSP to 1/4 ⇒ result is 3.25; 3.25 RPSP to 1/2 ⇒ result is 3.5; 3.5 round-half-to-even to 1 ⇒ result is 4 (wrong) If the erroneous middle step is removed, the final rounding to integer rounds 3.25 to the correct value of 3. RPSP is implemented in hardware in IBM zSeries and pSeries.
Terms inside the bracket are evaluated first; hence 2×(3 + 4) is 14, 20 ÷ (5(1 + 1)) is 2 and (2×3) + 4 is 10. This notation is extended to cover more general algebra involving variables: for example (x + y) × (x − y). Square brackets are also often used in place of a second set of parentheses when they are nested—so as to provide a ...
Rounds (parameter 1) by (parameter 2) decimal places, and formats. Scientific notation is used for numbers greater than 1×10^9, or less than 1×10^−4. Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status number 1 The number to be rounded Number required decimal places 2 The number of decimal places, if negative the number is rounded so the last (parameter 2) digits are ...
Square packing in a square is the problem of determining the maximum number of unit squares (squares of side length one) that can be packed inside a larger square of side length . If a {\displaystyle a} is an integer , the answer is a 2 , {\displaystyle a^{2},} but the precise – or even asymptotic – amount of unfilled space for an arbitrary ...
round brackets (BE) [1] Square brackets (BE) or brackets ... 4 × (3 + 2) equals 20, because the parentheses override normal precedence, causing the addition to be ...

Thus the fraction 3 / 4 can be used to represent the ratio 3:4 (the ratio of the part to the whole), and the division 3 ÷ 4 (three divided by four). We can also write negative fractions, which represent the opposite of a positive fraction. For example, if 1 / 2 represents a half-dollar profit, then − 1 / 2 represents ...
For example, to round 1.25 to 2 significant figures: Round half away from zero rounds up to 1.3. This is the default rounding method implied in many disciplines [citation needed] if the required rounding method is not specified. Round half to even, which rounds to the nearest even number. With this method, 1.25 is rounded down to 1.2.
