A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.
(also written as 0. 9, 0.., or 0.(9)) is a repeating decimal that is an alternate way of writing the number 1. Following the standard rules for representing numbers in decimal notation, its value is the smallest number greater than or equal to every number in the sequence 0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ... .
Signed-digit representation can be used to accomplish fast addition of integers because it can eliminate chains of dependent carries. [1] In the binary numeral system, a special case signed-digit representation is the non-adjacent form, which can offer speed benefits with minimal space overhead.
The decimal expansion of non-negative real number x will end in zeros (or in nines) if, and only if, x is a rational number whose denominator is of the form 2 n 5 m, where m and n are non-negative integers.
1 + 1 ⁄ 2 is "one and a half" 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 is "six and a quarter" 7 + 5 ⁄ 8 is "seven and five eighths" A space is placed to mark the boundary between the whole number and the fraction part unless superscripts and subscripts are used; for example: 9 1/2; 9 + 1 ⁄ 2 9 + 1 / 2

IRIG J-2 timecode consists of 17 characters (170 bit times), sent 10 times per second at a baud rate of 2400 or greater: <SOH>DDD:HH:MM:SS.S<CR><LF> This is the same, except that tenths of seconds are included.
A multiplication of a 10-digit number by a d-digit number (for d up to 10) took d+4 cycles, so the multiplication of a 10-digit number by 10-digit number took 14 cycles, or 2,800 microseconds—a rate of 357 per second. If one of the numbers had fewer than 10 digits, the operation was faster.
