  2. Repeating decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_decimal

    For example, in duodecimal, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ = 0.6, ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ = 0.4, ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ = 0.3 and ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠ = 0.2 all terminate; ⁠ 1 / 5 ⁠ = 0. 2497 repeats with period length 4, in contrast with the equivalent decimal expansion of 0.2; ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠ = 0. 186A35 has period 6 in duodecimal, just as it does in decimal. If b is an integer base ...

  3. 142857 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/142857

    The 142857 number sequence is also found in several decimals in which the denominator has a factor of 7. In the examples below, the numerators are all 1, however there are instances where it does not have to be, such as ⁠ 2 / 7 ⁠ (0. 285714). For example, consider the fractions and equivalent decimal values listed below: ⁠ 1 / 7 ⁠ = 0 ...

  4. Decimal - Wikipedia

    Place value of number in decimal system. The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈ d iː n ər i / [1] or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers (decimal fractions) of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.

  5. Numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

    For example, in the decimal system (base 10), the numeral 4327 means (4×10 3) + (3×10 2) + (2×10 1) + (7×10 0), noting that 10 0 = 1. In general, if b is the base, one writes a number in the numeral system of base b by expressing it in the form a n b n + a n − 1 b n − 1 + a n − 2 b n − 2 + ... + a 0 b 0 and writing the enumerated ...

  6. Numerical digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_digit

    The binary system uses only the digits "0" and "1", while the octal system uses the digits from "0" through "7". The hexadecimal system uses all the digits from the decimal system, plus the letters "A" through "F", which represent the numbers 10 to 15 respectively. [15]

  7. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

    Also the converse is true: The decimal expansion of a rational number is either finite, or endlessly repeating. Finite decimal representations can also be seen as a special case of infinite repeating decimal representations. For example, 36 ⁄ 25 = 1.44 = 1.4400000...; the endlessly repeated sequence is the one-digit sequence "0".

  8. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    To change a common fraction to decimal notation, do a long division of the numerator by the denominator (this is idiomatically also phrased as "divide the denominator into the numerator"), and round the result to the desired precision. For example, to change ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ to a decimal expression, divide 1 by 4 (" 4 into 1 "), to obtain exactly ...
