0.00034 has 2 significant figures (3 and 4) if the resolution is 0.00001. Zeros to the right of the last non-zero digit (trailing zeros) in a number with the decimal point are significant if they are within the measurement or reporting resolution. 1.200 has four significant figures (1, 2, 0, and 0) if they are allowed by the measurement resolution.
GCSE Bitesize was launched in January 1998, covering seven subjects. For each subject, a one- or two-hour long TV programme would be broadcast overnight in the BBC Learning Zone block, and supporting material was available in books and on the BBC website. At the time, only around 9% of UK households had access to the internet at home.
He has created maths puzzles for BBC Bitesize, as well as working with Rachel Riley. [14] Seagull releases regular maths challenges on BBC Radio 4. [15] In 2018 he taught mathematics to three BBC News presenters, Naga Munchetty, Jayne McCubbin and Tim Muffett, before they retook their General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE ...
The number 123.45 can be represented as a decimal floating-point number with the integer 12345 as the significand and a 10 −2 power term, also called characteristics, [11] [12] [13] where −2 is the exponent (and 10 is the base). Its value is given by the following arithmetic: 123.45 = 12345 × 10 −2.
All of the significant digits remain, but the placeholding zeroes are no longer required. Thus 1 230 400 would become 1.2304 × 10 6 if it had five significant digits. If the number were known to six or seven significant figures, it would be shown as 1.230 40 × 10 6 or 1.230 400 × 10 6. Thus, an additional advantage of scientific notation is ...

Yet Cantor was still able to pair each such fraction to a whole number 1 - 1 / 1; 2 - 2 / 1; 3 - 1 / 2... etc. through to ∞; i.e. the infinities of both fractions and whole numbers were shown to have the same size. But when the set of all infinite decimal numbers was considered, Cantor was able to prove that this produced a bigger infinity.
BBC Magazines was sold to Exponent Private Equity in 2011, which merged it with Origin Publishing (previously owned by BBC Worldwide between 2004 and 2006) to form Immediate Media Company.
