The major minus pitch technique also works for inch-based threads, but you must first calculate the pitch by converting the fraction of threads-per-inch (TPI) into a decimal. For example, a screw with a pitch of 1/20 in (20 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.050 in and a 1 ⁄ 13 in pitch (13 threads per inch) has a pitch of 0.077 in.
So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch. Below is a chart providing the decimal-fraction equivalents that are most relevant to fractional-inch drill bit sizes (that is, 0 to 1 by 64ths). (Decimal places for .25, .5, and .75 are shown to thousandths [.250, .500, .750], which is how machinists usually think ...
Sizes that may interchange, depending on the precision needed, include 2 mm (close to 5 ⁄ 64 inch (1.98 mm)), 4 mm (close to 5 ⁄ 32 inch (3.97 mm)) and 8 mm (close to 5 ⁄ 16 inch (7.94 mm)). In reality, a wrench with a width across the flats of exactly 15 mm would fit too tightly to use on a bolt with a width across the flats of 15 mm.
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 ...
For repeating patterns that begin immediately after the decimal point, the result of the conversion is the fraction with the pattern as a numerator, and the same number of nines as a denominator. For example: 0. 5 = 5/9 0. 62 = 62/99 0. 264 = 264/999 0. 6291 = 6291/9999
The fractional part or decimal part [1] of a non‐negative real number is the excess beyond that number's integer part. The latter is defined as the largest integer not greater than x , called floor of x or ⌊ x ⌋ {\displaystyle \lfloor x\rfloor } .

A standard one-inch micrometer has readout divisions of 0.001 inch and a rated accuracy of ±0.0001 inch [15] ("one tenth", in machinist parlance). Both the measuring instrument and the object being measured should be at room temperature for an accurate measurement; dirt, operator skill issue, and misuse (or abuse) of the instrument are the ...
