  2. Division by zero - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero

    For example, using single-precision IEEE arithmetic, if x = −2 −149, then x/2 underflows to −0, and dividing 1 by this result produces 1/(x/2) = −∞. The exact result −2 150 is too large to represent as a single-precision number, so an infinity of the same sign is used instead to indicate overflow.

    The nanometre (SI symbol: nm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −9 metres (⁠ 1 / 1 000 000 000 ⁠ m = 0. 000 000 001 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 −9 and 10 −8 m (1 nm and 10 nm).

    3 0 sin + 2 x 3 0 cos = The 1 + 2 × 3 {\displaystyle 1+2\times 3} examples have been given twice. The first version is for simple calculators, showing how it is necessary to rearrange operands in order to get the correct result.

  5. Order of magnitude - Wikipedia

    For example, 1 and 1.02 are within an order of magnitude. So are 1 and 2, 1 and 9, or 1 and 0.2. However, 1 and 15 are not within an order of magnitude, since their ratio is 15/1 = 15 > 10. The reciprocal ratio, 1/15, is less than 0.1, so the same result is obtained.

  6. Percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

    In general, if an increase of x percent is followed by a decrease of x percent, and the initial amount was p, the final amount is p (1 + 0.01 x)(10.01 x) = p (1 − (0.01 x) 2); hence the net change is an overall decrease by x percent of x percent (the square of the original percent change when expressed as a decimal number).

  7. Modular multiplicative inverse - Wikipedia

    However, the linear congruence 4x ≡ 6 (mod 10) has two solutions, namely, x = 4 and x = 9. The gcd(4, 10) = 2 and 2 does not divide 5, but does divide 6. Since gcd(3, 10) = 1, the linear congruence 3x ≡ 1 (mod 10) will have solutions, that is, modular multiplicative inverses of 3 modulo 10 will exist. In fact, 7 satisfies this congruence (i ...

    For example, if the minuend was 7, it's 9's complement is 2 and this value would be dialled in as with addition. The number 7 will appear in the 9's complement display. Another method of entering the 9's complement directly is to simply place the stylus in the 9 value and rotate the dial to the number representing the value to be entered.
