In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount was p, the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x)(1 − 0.01 x) = p (1 − (0.01 x) 2); hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number).
The California Job Case was a compartmentalized box for printing in the 19th century, sizes corresponding to the commonality of letters. The frequency of letters in text has been studied for use in cryptanalysis, and frequency analysis in particular, dating back to the Arab mathematician al-Kindi (c. AD 801–873 ), who formally developed the method (the ciphers breakable by this technique go ...
An example of a fraction that cannot be represented by a decimal expression (with a finite number of digits) is 1 / 3 , 3 not being a power of 10. More generally, a decimal with n digits after the separator (a point or comma) represents the fraction with denominator 10 n , whose numerator is the integer obtained by removing the separator.
The Austroasiatic language family (austro meaning South) is the autochthonous language in Southeast Asia, arrived by migration. Austroasiatic languages of mainland India are the Khasi and Munda languages, including Bhumij and Santali. The languages of the Nicobar islands also form part of this language family. With the exceptions of Khasi and ...
Crore (/ k r ɔːr /; abbreviated cr) denotes the quantity ten million (10 7) and is equal to 100 lakh in the Indian numbering system.In many international contexts, the decimal quantity is formatted as 10,000,000, but when used in the context of the Indian numbering system, the quantity is usually formatted 1,00,00,000.
Rational numbers with denominators 7 and 13 have 6-digit repetends when expressed in decimal form, because 999999 is the smallest number one less than a power of 10 that is divisible by 7 and by 13, and it is the largest number in English not containing the letter 'l' in its name.
In the case of English-French lexical similarity, at least two other studies [7] [8] estimate the number of English words directly inherited from French at 28.3% and 41% respectively, with respectively 28.24% and 15% of other English words derived from Latin, putting English-French lexical similarity at around 0.56, with reciprocally lower ...
A Gaussian integer is a complex number in the form (a + bi) where a — the real part — and b — the imaginary part — are both integers. For example, 13 is an ordinary prime, but is the product of the complex number (3+2i) and its conjugate (3-2i) therefore not a Gaussian prime. Ordinary primes that satisfy |a| ≡ 3 (mod 4) are Gaussian ...
