  2. Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe...

    This does not compute the nth decimal digit of π (i.e., in base 10). [3] But another formula discovered by Plouffe in 2022 allows extracting the nth digit of π in decimal. [4] BBP and BBP-inspired algorithms have been used in projects such as PiHex [5] for calculating many digits of π using distributed computing. The existence of this ...

  3. Decimal separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator

    In mathematics and computing, a radix point or radix character is a symbol used in the display of numbers to separate the integer part of the value from its fractional part. In English and many other languages (including many that are written right-to-left), the integer part is at the left of the radix point, and the fraction part at the right ...

  4. 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 × 103 as a result.

  5. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    For instance, the UPC-A barcode for a box of tissues is "036000241457". The last digit is the check digit "7", and if the other numbers are correct then the check digit calculation must produce 7. Add the odd number digits: 0+6+0+2+1+5 = 14. Multiply the result by 3: 14 × 3 = 42. Add the even number digits: 3+0+0+4+4 = 11.

  6. Divisibility rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule

    Take each digit of the number (371) in reverse order (173), multiplying them successively by the digits 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, repeating with this sequence of multipliers as long as necessary (1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 6, 4, 5, ...), and adding the products (1×1 + 7×3 + 3×2 = 1 + 21 + 6 = 28). The original number is divisible by 7 if and only if ...

  7. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

    Some real numbers have decimal expansions that eventually get into loops, endlessly repeating a sequence of one or more digits: 1 ⁄ 3 = 0.33333... 1 ⁄ 7 = 0.142857142857... 1318 ⁄ 185 = 7.1243243243... Every time this happens the number is still a rational number (i.e. can alternatively be represented as a ratio of an integer and a ...

    Another important point she mentions is that crows get the highly pathogenic avian flu (H5N1). They can be especially susceptible to it if they find food in poultry yards or around waterfowl.

  9. Location arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location_arithmetic

    To find the product of two multiple digit numbers, make a two column table. In the left column write the digits of the first number, one below the other. For each digit in the left column, multiply that digit and the second number and record it in the right column. Finally, add all the numbers of the right column together.
