    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.

    When an original length is extended by a given amount, the final length is the sum of the original length and the length of the extension. [ 19 ] The sum a + b can be interpreted as a binary operation that combines a and b , in an algebraic sense, or it can be interpreted as the addition of b more units to a .

  6. Significant figures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures

    An exact number has an infinite number of significant figures. If the number of apples in a bag is 4 (exact number), then this number is 4.0000... (with infinite trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point). As a result, 4 does not impact the number of significant figures or digits in the result of calculations with it.
