In the event that an invalid entry (any BCD digit greater than 1001) exists, 6 is added to generate a carry bit and cause the sum to become a valid entry.
Nonary itself is also related to septemvigesimal (base 27), in which the digits range from 0-9 and the letters A-Q (Q 27 = 28 9 = 222 3 = 26 10). The only prime factor of nine is three, so only powers of three can be represented as decimals that are not recurring .
Decimal fractions (sometimes called decimal numbers, especially in contexts involving explicit fractions) are the rational numbers that may be expressed as a fraction whose denominator is a power of ten. [8] For example, the decimal expressions ,,,, represent the fractions 8 / 10 , 1489 / 100 , 79 / 100000 , + 1618 / ...
The first true written positional numeral system is considered to be the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.This system was established by the 7th century in India, [1] but was not yet in its modern form because the use of the digit zero had not yet been widely accepted.
The ten digits of the Arabic numerals, in order of value. A numerical digit (often shortened to just digit) or numeral is a single symbol used alone (such as "1"), or in combinations (such as "15"), to represent numbers in positional notation, such as the common base 10.
Also the converse is true: The decimal expansion of a rational number is either finite, or endlessly repeating. Finite decimal representations can also be seen as a special case of infinite repeating decimal representations. For example, 36 ⁄ 25 = 1.44 = 1.4400000...; the endlessly repeated sequence is the one-digit sequence "0".

The 8 decimal values whose digits are all 8s or 9s have four codings each. The bits marked x in the table above are ignored on input, but will always be 0 in computed results. (The 8 × 3 = 24 non-standard encodings fill in the gap from 10 3 = 1000 and 2 10 - 1 = 1023.
