  2. 72 (number) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/72_(number)

    72 is the magic constant of the first non-normal, full prime reciprocal magic square in decimal, based on ⁠ 1 / 17 ⁠ in a 16 × 16 grid. [17] [18] 72 is the sum between 60 and 12, the former being the second unitary perfect number before 6 (and the latter the smallest of only two sublime numbers).

    But I tried to find the simplest one I could. [ 2 ] In a non-course lecture delivered to a freshman physics audience, Feynman undertakes to present an elementary, geometric demonstration of Newton 's discovery of the fact that Kepler 's first observation, that the planets travel in elliptical orbits, is a necessary consequence of Kepler's other ...

    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.

    The number π (/ p aɪ / ⓘ; spelled out as "pi") is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.

Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. [2]

    The straight ring counter has the logical structure shown here: Instead of the reset line setting up the initial one-hot pattern, the straight ring is sometimes made self-initializing by the use of a distributed feedback gate across all of the outputs except that last, so that a 1 is presented at the input when there is no 1 in any stage but the last.

    Integer variables can be assigned using decimal (positive and negative), octal, hexadecimal, and binary notations. [citation needed] Floating-point numbers are also stored in a platform-specific range. They can be specified using floating-point notation, or two forms of scientific notation. [221]
