A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.
On January 19, 2016, Cooper published his discovery of a 49th Mersenne prime, 2 74,207,281 − 1 (a number with 22,338,618 digits), as a result of a search executed by a GIMPS server network. [15] [16] [17] This was the fourth Mersenne prime discovered by Cooper and his team in the past ten years.
A ternary / ˈ t ɜːr n ər i / numeral system (also called base 3 or trinary [1]) has three as its base.Analogous to a bit, a ternary digit is a trit (trinary digit).One trit is equivalent to log 2 3 (about 1.58496) bits of information.
will give a result of 16331239353195370.0. In single precision (using the tanf function), the result will be −22877332.0. By the same token, an attempted computation of sin(π) will not yield zero. The result will be (approximately) 0.1225 × 10 −15 in double precision, or −0.8742 × 10 −7 in single precision. [nb 10]
The table below is a brief chronology of computed numerical values of, or bounds on, the mathematical constant pi (π).For more detailed explanations for some of these calculations, see Approximations of π.
The concept of a repdigit has been studied under that name since at least 1974, [5] and earlier Beiler (1966) called them "monodigit numbers". [1] The Brazilian numbers were introduced later, in 1994, in the 9th Iberoamerican Mathematical Olympiad that took place in Fortaleza, Brazil.

The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use.That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. [2]
