    Here the 'IEEE 754 double value' resulting of the 15 bit figure is 3.330560653658221E-15, which is rounded by Excel for the 'user interface' to 15 digits 3.33056065365822E-15, and then displayed with 30 decimals digits gets one 'fake zero' added, thus the 'binary' and 'decimal' values in the sample are identical only in display, the values ...

  3. Two's complement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two's_complement

    Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [1] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the most significant bit is 1 the number is signed as negative and when the most ...

  4. General number field sieve - Wikipedia

    Now the product of the factors a − mb mod n can be obtained as a square in two ways—one for each homomorphism. Thus, one can find two numbers x and y, with x 2 − y 2 divisible by n and again with probability at least one half we get a factor of n by finding the greatest common divisor of n and x − y.

    It is therefore the maximum value for variables declared as integers (e.g., as int) in many programming languages. The data type time_t , used on operating systems such as Unix , is a signed integer counting the number of seconds since the start of the Unix epoch ( midnight UTC of 1 January 1970), and is often implemented as a 32-bit integer.

  6. Greatest common divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor

    The greatest common divisor (GCD) of integers a and b, at least one of which is nonzero, is the greatest positive integer d such that d is a divisor of both a and b; that is, there are integers e and f such that a = de and b = df, and d is the largest such integer.

  7. Floor and ceiling functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floor_and_ceiling_functions

    The floor of x is also called the integral part, integer part, greatest integer, or entier of x, and was historically denoted [x] (among other notations). [2] However, the same term, integer part, is also used for truncation towards zero, which differs from the floor function for negative numbers. For n an integer, ⌊n⌋ = ⌈n⌉ = n.

  8. Power of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two

    Two to the power of n, written as 2 n, is the number of values in which the bits in a binary word of length n can be set, where each bit is either of two values. A word, interpreted as representing an integer in a range starting at zero, referred to as an "unsigned integer", can represent values from 0 (000...000 2) to 2 n − 1 (111...111 2) inclusively.

  9. Regular number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_number

    Formally, a regular number is an integer of the form , for nonnegative integers , , and .Such a number is a divisor of (⌈ / ⌉,,).The regular numbers are also called 5-smooth, indicating that their greatest prime factor is at most 5. [2]
