The first few terms are 1, 2, 4, 9, 20, 44, 97, 214, 472, 1041, 2296, 5064,... (sequence A008998 in the OEIS). The limit ratio between consecutive terms is the supersilver ratio. The first 8 indices n for which is prime are n = 1, 6, 21, 114, 117, 849, 2418, 6144. The last number has 2111 decimal digits.
Every terminating decimal representation can be written as a decimal fraction, a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 (e.g. 1.585 = 1585 / 1000 ); it may also be written as a ratio of the form k / 2 n ·5 m (e.g. 1.585 = 317 / 2 3 ·5 2 ).
A decimal separator is a symbol that separates the integer part from the fractional part of a number written in decimal form. Different countries officially designate different symbols for use as the separator. The choice of symbol also affects the choice of symbol for the thousands separator used in digit grouping.
For instance, among the 3.7×10 10 prime numbers smaller than 10 12, only 8.8×10 4 are Brazilian. The decimal repunit primes have the form = for the values of n listed in OEIS: A004023. It has been conjectured that there are infinitely many decimal repunit primes. [9]
The coincidence = =, correct to 2.4%, relates to the rational approximation , or / to within 0.3%. This relationship is used in engineering, for example to approximate a factor of two in power as 3 dB (actual is 3.0103 dB – see Half-power point ), or to relate a kibibyte to a kilobyte ; see binary prefix .
The numerals 0–9 have independent and modifier forms. The modifiers are used to form powers of 10 or modify the sum of objects. In some cases, there is more than one word for a numeral reflecting the Javanese register system of ngoko (low-register) and krama (high-register), as well as words from a literary form of Javanese called kawi and derived from Old Javanese.
The GRIM test is straightforward to perform. For each reported mean in a paper, the sample size (N) is found, and all fractions with denominator N are calculated. The mean is then checked against this list (being aware of the fact that values may be rounded inconsistently: depending on the context, a mean of 1.125 may be reported as 1.12 or 1.13).
