2. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

   Moreover, in the standard decimal representation of , an infinite sequence of trailing 0's appearing after the decimal point is omitted, along with the decimal point itself if is an integer. Certain procedures for constructing the decimal expansion of x {\displaystyle x} will avoid the problem of trailing 9's.

3. Midy's theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midy's_theorem

   If k is any divisor of h (where h is the number of digits of the period of the decimal expansion of a/p (where p is again a prime)), then Midy's theorem can be generalised as follows. The extended Midy's theorem [ 2 ] states that if the repeating portion of the decimal expansion of a / p is divided into k -digit numbers, then their sum is a ...

4. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

   For example, in duodecimal, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ = 0.6, ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ = 0.4, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ = 0.3 and ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ = 0.2 all terminate; ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠ = 0. 2497 repeats with period length 4, in contrast with the equivalent decimal expansion of 0.2; ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠ = 0. 186A35 has period 6 in duodecimal, just as it does in decimal. If b is an integer base ...

5. Look-and-say sequence - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-and-say_sequence

   To generate a member of the sequence from the previous member, read off the digits of the previous member, counting the number of digits in groups of the same digit. For example: 1 is read off as "one 1" or 11. 11 is read off as "two 1s" or 21. 21 is read off as "one 2, one 1" or 1211. 1211 is read off as "one 1, one 2, two 1s" or 111221.

6. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

   A method analogous to piece-wise linear approximation but using only arithmetic instead of algebraic equations, uses the multiplication tables in reverse: the square root of a number between 1 and 100 is between 1 and 10, so if we know 25 is a perfect square (5 × 5), and 36 is a perfect square (6 × 6), then the square root of a number greater than or equal to 25 but less than 36, begins with ...

7. Non-integer base of numeration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-integer_base_of_numeration

   This means that every integer can be expressed in base √ 2 without the need of a decimal point. The base can also be used to show the relationship between the side of a square to its diagonal as a square with a side length of 1 √ 2 will have a diagonal of 10 √ 2 and a square with a side length of 10 √ 2 will have a diagonal of 100 √ 2.
