  2. Names of large numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers

    The naming procedure for large numbers is based on taking the number n occurring in 10 3n+3 (short scale) or 10 6n (long scale) and concatenating Latin roots for its units, tens, and hundreds place, together with the suffix -illion. In this way, numbers up to 10 3·999+3 = 10 3000 (short scale) or 10 6·999 = 10 5994 (long scale) may be named.

    0b11111001/10 = 0b11000 R: 0b1001 (0b1001 = "9" for ones place) 0b11000/10 = 0b10 R: 0b100 (0b100 = "4" for tens) 0b10/10 = 0b0 R: 0b10 (0b10 = "2" for hundreds) For the fractional part, conversion can be done by taking digits after the radix point (the numerator), and dividing it by the implied denominator in the target radix.

    For powers of ten less than 9 (one, ten, hundred, thousand and million) the short and long scales are identical, but for larger powers of ten, the two systems differ in confusing ways. For identical names, the long scale grows by multiples of one million (10 6), whereas the short scale grows by multiples of one thousand (10 3).

    A subtraction problem such as is solved by borrowing a 10 from the tens place to add to the ones place in order to facilitate the subtraction. Subtracting 9 from 6 involves borrowing a 10 from the tens place, making the problem into +. This is indicated by crossing out the 8, writing a 7 above it, and writing a 1 above the 6.
