  2. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    To convert a hexadecimal number into its binary equivalent, simply substitute the corresponding binary digits: 3A 16 = 0011 1010 2 E7 16 = 1110 0111 2. To convert a binary number into its hexadecimal equivalent, divide it into groups of four bits. If the number of bits isn't a multiple of four, simply insert extra 0 bits at the left (called ...

  3. Calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculator

    Fractions such as 1 ⁄ 3 are displayed as decimal approximations, for example rounded to 0.33333333. Also, some fractions (such as 1 ⁄ 7, which is 0.14285714285714; to 14 significant figures) can be difficult to recognize in decimal form; as a result, many scientific calculators are able to work in vulgar fractions or mixed numbers.

  4. Octal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octal

    To convert octals to decimals, prefix the number with "0.". Perform the following steps for as long as digits remain on the right side of the radix: Double the value to the left side of the radix, using decimal rules, move the radix point one digit rightward, and then place the doubled value underneath the current value so that the radix points ...

    Thus 123.456 is considered an approximation of any real number greater or equal to ⁠ 1234555 / 10000 ⁠ and strictly less than ⁠ 1234565 / 10000 ⁠ (rounding to 3 decimals), or of any real number greater or equal to ⁠ 123456 / 1000 ⁠ and strictly less than ⁠ 123457 / 1000 ⁠ (truncation after the 3. decimal). Digits that suggest a ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. 8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8

    By Mihăilescu's Theorem, it is the only nonzero perfect power that is one less than another perfect power. 8 is the first proper Leyland number of the form x y + y x, where in its case x and y both equal 2. [4] 8 is a Fibonacci number and the only nontrivial Fibonacci number that is a perfect cube. [5] Sphenic numbers always have exactly eight ...

  8. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    Another common way of expressing the base is writing it as a decimal subscript after the number that is being represented (this notation is used in this article). 1111011 2 implies that the number 1111011 is a base-2 number, equal to 123 10 (a decimal notation representation), 173 8 and 7B 16 (hexadecimal).

  9. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...
