2. List of numeral systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_numeral_systems

   Smallest base which is not a perfect power (where generalized repunits can be factored algebraically) for which no generalized repunit primes are known. 196: Number expressible with two tetradecimal digits. 210: Smallest base such that all fractions ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ to ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ terminate. 225: Number expressible with two pentadecimal digits. 256

3. Decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

   Decimal. The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈdiːnəri / [ 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.

4. Pi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

   Fractions such as ⁠ 22 / 7 ⁠ and ⁠ 355 / 113 ⁠ are commonly used to approximate π, but no common fraction (ratio of whole numbers) can be its exact value. [20] Because π is irrational, it has an infinite number of digits in its decimal representation , and does not settle into an infinitely repeating pattern of digits.

5. Computer number format - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

   Computer number format. A computer number format is the internal representation of numeric values in digital device hardware and software, such as in programmable computers and calculators. [ 1] Numerical values are stored as groupings of bits, such as bytes and words. The encoding between numerical values and bit patterns is chosen for ...

6. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

   However, most decimal fractions like 0.1 or 0.123 are infinite repeating fractions in base 2. and hence cannot be represented that way. Similarly, any decimal fraction a /10 m , such as 1/100 or 37/1000, can be exactly represented in fixed point with a power-of-ten scaling factor 1/10 n with any n ≥ m .

7. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

   Every terminating decimal representation can be written as a decimal fraction, a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 1585 / 1000 ⁠); it may also be written as a ratio of the form ⁠ k / 2 n ·5 m ⁠ (e.g. 1.585 = ⁠ 317 / 2 3 ·5 2 ⁠).

8. Floating-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

   In computing, floating-point arithmetic ( FP) is arithmetic that represents subsets of real numbers using an integer with a fixed precision, called the significand, scaled by an integer exponent of a fixed base. Numbers of this form are called floating-point numbers. [ 1]: 3 [ 2]: 10 For example, 12.345 is a floating-point number in base ten ...

9. Positional notation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

   Positional notation (or place-value notation, or positional numeral system) usually denotes the extension to any base of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system (or decimal system ). More generally, a positional system is a numeral system in which the contribution of a digit to the value of a number is the value of the digit multiplied by a factor ...
