Number Forms is a Unicode block containing Unicode compatibility characters that have specific meaning as numbers, but are constructed from other characters. They consist primarily of vulgar fractions and Roman numerals .
In decimal numbers greater than 1 (such as 3.75), the fractional part of the number is expressed by the digits to the right of the separator (with a value of 0.75 in this case). 3.75 can be written either as an improper fraction, 375 / 100 , or as a mixed number, 3 + 75 / 100 .
In mathematics, the infinite series 1 / 2 + 1 / 4 + 1 / 8 + 1 / 16 + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation, this may be expressed as
The first four partial sums of the series 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ⋯.The parabola is their smoothed asymptote; its y-intercept is −1/12. [1]The infinite series whose terms ...
In mathematics, the infinite series 1 / 4 + 1 / 16 + 1 / 64 + 1 / 256 + ⋯ is an example of one of the first infinite series to be summed in the history of mathematics; it was used by Archimedes circa 250–200 BC. [1]
A number that has the same number of digits as the number of digits in its prime factorization, including exponents but excluding exponents equal to 1. A046758 Extravagant numbers
The first four partial sums of 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯. In mathematics, 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + ⋯ is the infinite series whose terms are the successive powers of two. As a geometric series, it is characterized by its first term, 1, and its common ratio, 2. As a series of real numbers it diverges to infinity, so the sum of this series is infinity.
The idea becomes clearer by considering the general series 1 − 2x + 3x 2 − 4x 3 + 5x 4 − 6x 5 + &c. that arises while expanding the expression 1 ⁄ (1+x) 2, which this series is indeed equal to after we set x = 1.
