However the titles of bonds issued by governments and other issuers use the fractional form, e.g. "3 + 1 ⁄ 2 % Unsecured Loan Stock 2032 Series 2". (When interest rates are very low, the number 0 is included if the interest rate is less than 1%, e.g. " 0 + 3 ⁄ 4 % Treasury Stock", not " 3 ⁄ 4 % Treasury Stock".)
A mikvah consists of 40 se'ah (approximately 200 U.S. gallons or 760 liters) of water; The prophet Elijah had to walk 40 days and 40 nights before arriving at mount Horeb (1 Kings 19:8). 40 lashes is one of the punishments meted out by the Sanhedrin (Deuteronomy 25:3), though in actual practice only 39 lashes were administered.

1/52! chance of a specific shuffle Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 × 10 −68 (or exactly 1 ⁄ 52!) [4] Computing: The number 1.4 × 10 −45 is approximately equal to the smallest positive non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE floating-point value.
A survey cited by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) on Friday found 56% of potential buyers are holding out for rates between 5.5% and 5.75% before making a purchase.
6 1 2 1 1 −1 4 5 9. and would be written in modern notation as 6 1 / 4 , 1 1 / 5 , and 2 − 1 / 9 (i.e., 1 8 / 9 ). The horizontal fraction bar is first attested in the work of Al-Hassār (fl. 1200), [35] a Muslim mathematician from Fez, Morocco, who specialized in Islamic inheritance jurisprudence.
It is the result of a multivariate fit (temperature equal to or greater than 80 °F (27 °C) and relative humidity equal to or greater than 40%) to a model of the human body. [ 1 ] [ 14 ] This equation reproduces the above NOAA National Weather Service table (except the values at 90 °F (32 °C) & 45%/70% relative humidity vary unrounded by ...
if a number is divisible both by 2 and by 3 (that is, divisible by 6), its square ends in 0, and its preceding digit must be 0 or 3; if a number is divisible neither by 2 nor by 3, its square ends in 1, and its preceding digit must be even; if a number is divisible by 2, but not by 3, its square ends in 4, and its preceding digit must be 0, 1 ...
The idea becomes clearer by considering the general series 1 − 2x + 3x 2 − 4x 3 + 5x 4 − 6x 5 + &c. that arises while expanding the expression 1 ⁄ (1+x) 2, which this series is indeed equal to after we set x = 1.
