One hour of time is divided into 60 minutes, and one minute is divided into 60 seconds. Thus, a measurement of time such as 3:23:17 (3 hours, 23 minutes, and 17 seconds) can be interpreted as a whole sexagesimal number (no sexagesimal point), meaning 3 × 60 2 + 23 × 60 1 + 17 × 60 0 seconds .
Takt time, or simply takt, is a manufacturing term to describe the required product assembly duration that is needed to match the demand.Often confused with cycle time, takt time is a tool used to design work and it measures the average time interval between the start of production of one unit and the start of production of the next unit when items are produced sequentially.

Eliminate ambiguous or non-significant zeros by using Scientific Notation: For example, 1300 with three significant figures becomes 1.30 × 10 3. Likewise 0.0123 can be rewritten as 1.23 × 10 −2. The part of the representation that contains the significant figures (1.30 or 1.23) is known as the significand or mantissa.
