  2. Fixed-point arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_arithmetic

    A fixed-point representation of a fractional number is essentially an integer that is to be implicitly multiplied by a fixed scaling factor. For example, the value 1.23 can be stored in a variable as the integer value 1230 with implicit scaling factor of 1/1000 (meaning that the last 3 decimal digits are implicitly assumed to be a decimal fraction), and the value 1 230 000 can be represented ...

    For example, in the following set of real world fractional values, all have three digits to the right of the decimal point: 15.400, 0.133, 4.650, 1.000, 8.001 To save all of that information (in other words, not lose any precision), these numbers must be multiplied by 10 3 (1,000), giving integer values of: 15400, 133, 4650, 1000, 8001

    When converted to base-10, the 23 8 is equivalent to 19 10, i.e. 23 8 = 19 10. In our notation here, the subscript "8" of the numeral 23 8 is part of the numeral, but this may not always be the case. Imagine the numeral "23" as having an ambiguous base number. Then "23" could likely be any base, from base-4 up.

  6. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    Conversion of units is the conversion of the unit of measurement in which a quantity is expressed, typically through a multiplicative conversion factor that changes the unit without changing the quantity. This is also often loosely taken to include replacement of a quantity with a corresponding quantity that describes the same physical property.
