The hands value has at most one digit after the decimal mark, and has an optional fraction. A precision of 2 assumes |frac=2 (round to nearest 1 ⁄ 2 inch). A precision of 3 or more assumes |frac=4 (round to nearest 1 ⁄ 4 inch). If ever needed, |frac=8 can be used to round to the nearest 1 ⁄ 8 inch. {{convert|27.63|in|hand}} → 27.63 ...

Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 2 −2, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two , e.g. 1 / 8 = 1 / 2 3 .
Subdivisions of an inch are typically written using dyadic fractions with odd number numerators; for example, two and three-eighths of an inch would be written as 2 + 3 / 8 ″ and not as 2.375″ nor as 2 + 6 / 16 ″. However, for engineering purposes fractions are commonly given to three or four places of decimals and have been ...

Equal to 1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch, a thousandth is commonly called a thou / ˈ θ aʊ / (used for both singular and plural) or, particularly in North America, a mil (plural mils). The words are shortened forms of the English and Latin words for "thousand" (mille ...
