(red) fits into the next two digits once (if rotated), so the next digit in the quotient is a rotated one (that is, a five). (blue) The last two digits are matched once for ...

    The decimal system is the same up to 19. Then decades, however, are formed as unit–ten, as in Chinese, and the hundreds similarly. 20 is reported to be ɲiɕu, the same as vigesimal numeral 400; this may be lexical interference for the expected *ɲi-cu. (In any case, there is no ambiguity, because as 400 it is obligatorily ɲiɕu ciː 'one 400'.)

  4. Long division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_division

    If necessary, simplify the long division problem by moving the decimals of the divisor and dividend by the same number of decimal places, to the right (or to the left), so that the decimal of the divisor is to the right of the last digit. When doing long division, keep the numbers lined up straight from top to bottom under the tableau.

  5. Division algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algorithm

    Long division is the standard algorithm used for pen-and-paper division of multi-digit numbers expressed in decimal notation. It shifts gradually from the left to the right end of the dividend, subtracting the largest possible multiple of the divisor (at the digit level) at each stage; the multiples then become the digits of the quotient, and the final difference is then the remainder.

  6. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    An adult human foot is about 28 cm (11 in) long. The decimetre ( SI symbol: dm ) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −1 metres ( ⁠ 1 / 10 ⁠ m = 0.1 m ). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 centimeters and 100 centimeters (10 −1 meter and 1 meter).

  7. Signed number representations - Wikipedia

    The IEEE 754 floating-point standard defines the exponent field of a single-precision (32-bit) number as an 8-bit excess-127 field. The double-precision (64-bit) exponent field is an 11-bit excess-1023 field; see exponent bias. It also had use for binary-coded decimal numbers as excess-3.

  8. Galley division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galley_division

    (omitted) Dividing 5884 by 594 yields 9 which is written as the new digit of the quotient. 58 − 5×9 = 13 so cross out the 5 and 8 and above them write 1 and 3. Cross out the 5 of the divisor. The resulting dividend is now 1384. 138 − 9×9 = 57. Cross out 1,3, and 8 of the dividend and write 5 and 7 above. Cross out the 9 of the divisor.

  9. Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric...

    Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols is a Unicode block comprising styled forms of Latin and Greek letters and decimal digits that enable mathematicians to denote different notions with different letter styles. The letters in various fonts often have specific, fixed meanings in particular areas of mathematics.
