  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 ...

  3. Template:Percent and number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Percent_and_number

    For two-column table output, use |disp=table. To insert a line break before the parenthetical expression, use |disp=br(). To add a prefix to the numbers, use |prefix=; for example, prefix=$

  4. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    A floating-point number system is normalized if the leading digit is always nonzero unless the number is zero. [3] Since the significand is d 0 . d 1 d 2 … d p − 1 {\displaystyle d_{0}.d_{1}d_{2}\ldots d_{p-1}} , the significand of a nonzero number in a normalized system satisfies 1 ≤ significand < β p {\displaystyle 1\leq {\text ...

    The Archimedean property: any point x before the finish line lies between two of the points P n (inclusive).. It is possible to prove the equation 0.999... = 1 using just the mathematical tools of comparison and addition of (finite) decimal numbers, without any reference to more advanced topics such as series and limits.

  6. Percent sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_sign

    English style guides prescribe writing the percent sign following the number without any space between (e.g. 50%). [sources 1] However, the International System of Units and ISO 31-0 standard prescribe a space between the number and percent sign, [8] [9] [10] in line with the general practice of using a non-breaking space between a numerical value and its corresponding unit of measurement.

  7. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    To represent the number 1,230,400 in normalized scientific notation, the decimal separator would be moved 6 digits to the left and × 10 6 appended, resulting in 1.2304 × 10 6. The number −0.004 0321 would have its decimal separator shifted 3 digits to the right instead of the left and yield −4.0321 × 10 −3 as a result.

  8. Unum (number format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum_(number_format)

    The format of an n-bit posit is given a label of "posit" followed by the decimal digits of n (e.g., the 16-bit posit format is "posit16") and consists of four sequential fields: sign: 1 bit, representing an unsigned integer s; regime: at least 2 bits and up to (n − 1), representing an unsigned integer r as described below

  9. Computer number format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_number_format

    To approximate the greater range and precision of real numbers, we have to abandon signed integers and fixed-point numbers and go to a "floating-point" format. In the decimal system, we are familiar with floating-point numbers of the form (scientific notation): 1.1030402 × 10 5 = 1.1030402 × 100000 = 110304.02. or, more compactly: 1.1030402E5
