  2. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used.

  3. Rounding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding

    With decimal arithmetic, final digits of 0 and 5 are avoided; if there is a choice between numbers with the least significant digit 0 or 1, 4 or 5, 5 or 6, 9 or 0, then the digit different from 0 or 5 shall be selected; otherwise, the choice is arbitrary.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Invitational...

    The American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) is a selective and prestigious 15-question 3-hour test given since 1983 to those who rank in the top 5% on the AMC 12 high school mathematics examination (formerly known as the AHSME), and starting in 2010, those who rank in the top 2.5% on the AMC 10. Two different versions of the test ...

    In both notations, the number of digits indicates the precision. For example, 5 × 10 3 means rounded to the nearest thousand; 5.0 × 10 3 to the nearest hundred; 5.00 × 10 3 to the nearest ten; and 5.000 × 10 3 to the nearest unit. Markup: {} and {} may be used to format exponential notation.

    This behavior can be switched of by setting the formula in parentheses: = ( 1 + 2^-52 - 1 ). You will see that even that small value survives. Smaller values will pass away as there are only 53 bits to represent the value, for this case 1.0000000000 0000000000 0000000000 0000000000 0000000000 01, the first representing the 1, and the last the 2 ...

  7. Trailing zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailing_zero

    In mathematics, trailing zeros are a sequence of 0 in the decimal representation (or more generally, in any positional representation) of a number, after which no other digits follow. Trailing zeros to the right of a decimal point , as in 12.340, don't affect the value of a number and may be omitted if all that is of interest is its numerical ...

  8. Vigesimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigesimal

    In a vigesimal place system, twenty individual numerals (or digit symbols) are used, ten more than in the decimal system. One modern method of finding the extra needed symbols is to write ten as the letter A, or A 20, where the 20 means base 20, to write nineteen as J 20, and the numbers between with the corresponding letters of the alphabet.

  9. Two-out-of-five code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-out-of-five_code

    2 of 5 barcode (non-interleaved) POSTNET barcode. A two-out-of-five code is a constant-weight code that provides exactly ten possible combinations of two bits, and is thus used for representing the decimal digits using five bits. [1] Each bit is assigned a weight, such that the set bits sum to the desired value, with an exception for zero.
