2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

   Conversely the period of the repeating decimal of a fraction ⁠ c / d ⁠ will be (at most) the smallest number n such that 10 n − 1 is divisible by d. For example, the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ has d = 7, and the smallest k that makes 10 k − 1 divisible by 7 is k = 6, because 999999 = 7 × 142857. The period of the fraction ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ is ...

3. 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 ...

4. 0.999... - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...

   For example, 0.24999... equals 0.25, exactly as in the special case considered. These numbers are exactly the decimal fractions, and they are dense. [41] [9] Second, a comparable theorem applies in each radix or base. For example, in base 2 (the binary numeral system) 0.111... equals 1, and in base 3 (the ternary numeral system) 0.222

5. Scale factor (computer science) - Wikipedia

   154/11 = 14 101/11 = 9.1818... 54/11 = 4.9090... 3/11 = 0.2727... 0/11 = 0 160/11 = 14.5454... Many of these values have been truncated because they contain repeating decimals, which follows from the chosen scale factor (elevenths do not terminate in decimal). When storing these in our fixed-point format, some precision will be lost (in ...

6. Vinculum (symbol) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinculum_(symbol)

   A vinculum can indicate a line segment where A and B are the endpoints: ¯. A vinculum can indicate the repetend of a repeating decimal value: . 1 ⁄ 7 = 0. 142857 = 0.1428571428571428571...

7. Fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

   The picture to the right illustrates ⁠ 3 / 4 ⁠ of a cake. Fractions can be used to represent ratios and division. [1] 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).
