    In some texts [which?], "a is a submultiple of b" has the meaning of "a being a unit fraction of b" (a=b/n) or, equivalently, "b being an integer multiple n of a" (b=n a). This terminology is also used with units of measurement (for example by the BIPM [ 2 ] and NIST [ 3 ] ), where a unit submultiple is obtained by prefixing the main unit ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix

    A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or submultiple of the unit. All metric prefixes used today are decadic.Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to any unit symbol.

    with an aliquot sum of 46; itself a semiprime, within an aliquot sequence of seven members (86,46,26,16,15,9,4,3,1,0) in the Prime 3-aliquot tree. It appears in the Padovan sequence, preceded by the terms 37, 49, 65 (it is the sum of the first two of these). [8] It is conjectured that 86 is the largest n for which the decimal expansion of 2 n ...

  5. Base unit of measurement - Wikipedia

    A unit multiple (or multiple of a unit) is an integer multiple of a given unit; likewise a unit submultiple (or submultiple of a unit) is a submultiple or a unit fraction of a given unit. [1] Unit prefixes are common base-10 or base-2 powers multiples and submultiples of units.

    The second is readily determined from the Earth's rotation period. Unlike other units, time multiples are not decimal. A second is ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of a minute, which is ⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠ of an hour, which is ⁠ 1 / 24 ⁠ of a day, so a second is ⁠ 1 / 86 400 ⁠ of a day.

    It would be clearer to write that length as 79.86 m. Dondervogel 2 ( talk ) 23:42, 11 November 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] one could also write 146 x 71.5 x 7.65 mm , but then we have a length, not a volume – Formally perhaps, but you could say the pretty much the same about 146 by 71.5 by 7.65 mm , and yet we allow it.
