  2. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    The conversion to a base of an integer n represented in base can be done by a succession of Euclidean divisions by : the right-most digit in base is the remainder of the division of n by ; the second right-most digit is the remainder of the division of the quotient by , and so on. The left-most digit is the last quotient.

  3. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    In mathematics, change of base can mean any of several things: Changing numeral bases, such as converting from base 2 to base 10 . This is known as base conversion. The logarithmic change-of-base formula, one of the logarithmic identities used frequently in algebra and calculus.

  4. Numeral system - Wikipedia

    To generate the rest of the numerals, the position of the symbol in the figure is used. The symbol in the last position has its own value, and as it moves to the left its value is multiplied by b. For example, in the decimal system (base 10), the numeral 4327 means (4×10 3) + (3×10 2) + (2×10 1) + (7×10 0), noting that 10 0 = 1.

  5. Radix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix

    In a positional numeral system, the radix (pl.: radices) or base is the number of unique digits, including the digit zero, used to represent numbers. For example, for the decimal system (the most common system in use today) the radix is ten, because it uses the ten digits from 0 through 9.

    It may be a number instead, if the input base is 10. base - (required) the base to which the number should be converted. May be between 2 and 36, inclusive. from - the base of the input. Defaults to 10 (or 16 if the input has a leading '0x'). Note that bases other than 10 are not supported if the input has a fractional part.

  7. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    While base ten is normally used for scientific notation, powers of other bases can be used too, [25] base 2 being the next most commonly used one. For example, in base-2 scientific notation, the number 1001 b in binary (=9 d) is written as 1.001 b × 2 d 11 b or 1.001 b × 10 b 11 b using binary numbers (or shorter 1.001 × 10 11 if binary ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

    The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈ d iː n ər i / [1] or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers ( decimal fractions ) of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system .

    Here we can show how to convert a base-10 real number into an IEEE 754 binary32 format using the following outline: Consider a real number with an integer and a fraction part such as 12.375; Convert and normalize the integer part into binary; Convert the fraction part using the following technique as shown here
