In 1904, two new currency denominations were introduced: the bit and francs which were overlaid on the old cent and daler denominations. The four units were related as 5 bits = 1 cent, 100 bits = 20 cents = 1 franc, 100 cents = 5 francs = 1 daler. [6] Coins were issued each denominated in two units, bits and cents, francs and cents, or francs ...
A British gold sovereign with a face value of £1. Prior to decimalisation on 15 February 1971, £1 was made up of 240 pence.. A non-decimal currency is a currency that has sub-units that are a non-decimal fraction of the main unit, i.e. the number of sub-units in a main unit is not a power of 10.
For example, if you had two types of coins valued at 6 cents and 14 cents, the GCD would equal 2, and there would be no way to combine any number of such coins to produce a sum which was an odd number; additionally, even numbers 2, 4, 8, 10, 16 and 22 (less than m=24) could not be formed, either.
For example, $73 is written as “seventy-three,” and the words for $43.50 are “Forty-three and 50/100.” You don’t need to write the word “dollars” if your bank has preprinted it on ...
Another example is attempting to make 40 US cents without nickels (denomination 25, 10, 1) with similar result — the greedy chooses seven coins (25, 10, and 5 × 1), but the optimal is four (4 × 10). A coin system is called "canonical" if the greedy algorithm always solves its change-making problem optimally.
Alternatively, and for greater numbers, one may say for 1 ⁄ 2 "one over two", for 5 ⁄ 8 "five over eight", and so on. This "over" form is also widely used in mathematics. Fractions together with an integer are read as follows: 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 is "one and a half" 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 is "six and a quarter" 7 + 5 ⁄ 8 is "seven and five eighths"
z = 75 + (3/4)x. Since x, y and z all must be integers, the expression for y suggests that x must be a multiple of 4. Hence the general solution of the system of equations can be expressed using an integer parameter t as follows: [5] x = 4t y = 25 − 7t z = 75 + 3t. Since y should be a non-negative integer, the only possible values of t are 0 ...
The value of 5 1 ⁄ 8 ·35 1 ⁄ 3 is very close to 4, which is why a 7-limit interval 6144:6125 (which is the difference between the 5-limit diesis 128:125 and the septimal diesis 49:48), equal to 5.362 cents, appears very close to the quarter-comma ( 81 / 80 ) 1 ⁄ 4 of 5.377 cents.
