    Septimal minor third on C Origin of large and small seconds and thirds in harmonic series. [2]In music, the septimal minor third, also called the subminor third (e.g., by Ellis [3] [4]) or septimal subminor third, is the musical interval exactly or approximately equal to a 7/6 ratio of frequencies.

    The number of bits needed for the precision and range desired must be chosen to store the fractional and integer parts of a number. For instance, using a 32-bit format, 16 bits may be used for the integer and 16 for the fraction. The eight's bit is followed by the four's bit, then the two's bit, then the one's bit.

    This is the minimum number of characters needed to encode a 32 bit number into 5 printable characters in a process similar to MIME-64 encoding, since 85 5 is only slightly bigger than 2 32. Such method is 6.7% more efficient than MIME-64 which encodes a 24 bit number into 4 printable characters.

    For example, in the decimal system (base 10), the numeral 4327 means (4×10 3) + (3×10 2) + (2×10 1) + (7×10 0), noting that 10 0 = 1. In general, if b is the base, one writes a number in the numeral system of base b by expressing it in the form a n b n + a n − 1 b n − 1 + a n − 2 b n − 2 + ... + a 0 b 0 and writing the enumerated ...

  9. Q (number format) - Wikipedia

    Q numbers are a ratio of two integers: the numerator is kept in storage, the denominator is equal to 2 n. Consider the following example: The Q8 denominator equals 2 8 = 256; 1.5 equals 384/256; 384 is stored, 256 is inferred because it is a Q8 number.
