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"

In areas of machining where the thou is used, 0.0001 inches (2.54 micrometres) is often treated as a basic unit and can be referred to as "one tenth", meaning "one tenth of a thou" or "one ten thousandth". [8] Other common terms used in machining with Imperial units involve adding tenths together to achieve a specific tolerance or measurement.
Computing – UTF-8: 2,164,864 (2 21 + 2 16 + 2 11 + 2 7) possible one- to four-byte UTF-8 sequences, if the restrictions on overlong sequences, surrogate code points, and code points beyond U+10FFFF are not adhered to. (Note that not all of these correspond to unique code points.)
If an unknown weight W is balanced with 3 (3 1) on its pan and 1 and 27 (3 0 and 3 3) on the other, then its weight in decimal is 25 or 10 1 1 in balanced base-3. 10 1 1 3 = 1 × 3 3 + 0 × 3 2 − 1 × 3 1 + 1 × 3 0 = 25.
After the winners were announced earlier this week, one of the competition's sponsors, Nat Friedman, wrote on the social media platform X that they had been able to read “new text from the ...
For example, 123.456 represents 123456 / 1000 , or, in words, one hundred, two tens, three ones, four tenths, five hundredths, and six thousandths. A real number can be expressed by a finite number of decimal digits only if it is rational and its fractional part has a denominator whose prime factors are 2 or 5 or both, because these are ...
"A base is a natural number B whose powers (B multiplied by itself some number of times) are specially designated within a numerical system." [1]: 38 The term is not equivalent to radix, as it applies to all numerical notation systems (not just positional ones with a radix) and most systems of spoken numbers. [1]
