  2. Numeric precision in Microsoft Excel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_precision_in...

    Excel maintains 15 figures in its numbers, but they are not always accurate; mathematically, the bottom line should be the same as the top line, in 'fp-math' the step '1 + 1/9000' leads to a rounding up as the first bit of the 14 bit tail '10111000110010' of the mantissa falling off the table when adding 1 is a '1', this up-rounding is not undone when subtracting the 1 again, since there is no ...

    [The formula does not make clear over what the summation is done. P C = 1 n ⋅ ∑ p t p 0 {\displaystyle P_{C}={\frac {1}{n}}\cdot \sum {\frac {p_{t}}{p_{0}}}} On 17 August 2012 the BBC Radio 4 program More or Less [ 3 ] noted that the Carli index, used in part in the British retail price index , has a built-in bias towards recording ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel

    Excel offers many user interface tweaks over the earliest electronic spreadsheets; however, the essence remains the same as in the original spreadsheet software, VisiCalc: the program displays cells organized in rows and columns, and each cell may contain data or a formula, with relative or absolute references to other cells. Excel 2.0 for ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    R j is the j-th partial remainder of the division; B is the radix (base, usually 2 internally in computers and calculators) q n − (j + 1) is the digit of the quotient in position n−(j+1), where the digit positions are numbered from least-significant 0 to most significant n−1; n is number of digits in the quotient; D is the divisor

  6. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    10 b = b for any base b, since 10 b = 1×b 1 + 0×b 0. For example, 10 2 = 2; 10 3 = 3; 10 16 = 16 10. Note that the last "16" is indicated to be in base 10. The base makes no difference for one-digit numerals. This concept can be demonstrated using a diagram. One object represents one unit.

  7. Cost–volume–profit analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost–volume–profit...

    CVP is a short run, marginal analysis: it assumes that unit variable costs and unit revenues are constant, which is appropriate for small deviations from current production and sales, and assumes a neat division between fixed costs and variable costs, though in the long run all costs are variable.

  8. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    The combination of these two symbols is sometimes known as a long division symbol or division bracket. [8] It developed in the 18th century from an earlier single-line notation separating the dividend from the quotient by a left parenthesis. [9] [10] The process is begun by dividing the left-most digit of the dividend by the divisor.

  9. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_(mathematics)

    In abstract algebra, given a magma with binary operation ∗ (which could nominally be termed multiplication), left division of b by a (written a \ b) is typically defined as the solution x to the equation a ∗ x = b, if this exists and is unique. Similarly, right division of b by a (written b / a) is the solution y to the equation y ∗ a = b ...
