Stylistic impression of the repeating decimal 0.9999..., representing the digit 9 repeating infinitely. In mathematics, 0.999... (also written as 0. 9, 0.., or 0.(9)) is a repeating decimal that is an alternative way of writing the number 1.
999 was a London punk band active during the 1970s. 999 is also the short name for the visual novel Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. 999 is the last 3 digit number. It is also the last number in English written without a comma, as numbers above 999 must require a comma (e.g. numbers starting from 1,000 or more).
Computing: 9.999 999 × 10 96 is equal to the largest value that can be represented in the IEEE decimal32 floating-point format. Computing: 69! (roughly 1.7112245 × 10 98), is the largest factorial value that can be represented on a calculator with two digits for powers of ten without overflow.
A repeating decimal or recurring decimal is a decimal representation of a number whose digits are eventually periodic (that is, after some place, the same sequence of digits is repeated forever); if this sequence consists only of zeros (that is if there is only a finite number of nonzero digits), the decimal is said to be terminating, and is not considered as repeating.
A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
1000 or one thousand is the natural number following 999 and preceding 1001. ... The decimal representation for one thousand is ... (3rd order mock theta function) ...
European languages that use the comma as a decimal separator may correspondingly use the period as a thousands separator. As a result, some style guides [example needed] recommend avoidance of the comma (,) as either separator and the use of the period (.) only as a decimal point. Thus one-half would be written 0.5 in decimal, base ten notation ...
1 troy ounce of four nines fine gold (999.9) Nines are an informal logarithmic notation for proportions very near to one or, equivalently, percentages very near 100%. Put simply, "nines" are the number of consecutive nines in a percentage such as 99% (two nines) [1] or a decimal fraction such as 0.999 (three nines).
