  2. Decimal representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_representation

    13 = 0.33333... 1 ⁄ 7 = 0.142857142857... 1318 ⁄ 185 = 7.1243243243... Every time this happens the number is still a rational number (i.e. can alternatively be represented as a ratio of an integer and a positive integer). Also the converse is true: The decimal expansion of a rational number is either finite, or endlessly repeating.

  3. Fractional part - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_part

    The fractional part or decimal part [1] of a non‐negative real number is the excess beyond that number's integer part. The latter is defined as the largest integer not greater than x, called floor of x or . Then, the fractional part can be formulated as a difference : For a positive number written in a conventional positional numeral system ...

  4. Radix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix

    In a positional numeral system, the radix ( pl.: radices) or base is the number of unique digits, including the digit zero, used to represent numbers. For example, for the decimal system (the most common system in use today) the radix is ten, because it uses the ten digits from 0 through 9. In any standard positional numeral system, a number is ...

  5. Technetium-99m - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technetium-99m

    Technetium-99m ( 99m Tc) is a metastable nuclear isomer of technetium-99 (itself an isotope of technetium ), symbolized as 99m Tc, that is used in tens of millions of medical diagnostic procedures annually, making it the most commonly used medical radioisotope in the world. Technetium-99m is used as a radioactive tracer and can be detected in ...

  6. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    On scientific calculators, it is usually known as "SCI" display mode. In scientific notation, nonzero numbers are written in the form. or m times ten raised to the power of n, where n is an integer, and the coefficient m is a nonzero real number (usually between 1 and 10 in absolute value, and nearly always written as a terminating decimal ).

  7. Decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal

    Decimal. Place value of number in decimal system. The decimal numeral system (also called the base-ten positional numeral system and denary / ˈdiːnəri / [1] or decanary) is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers ( decimal fractions) of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.

  8. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    If n is even, a complex number's nth roots, of which there are an even number, come in additive inverse pairs, so that if a number r 1 is one of the nth roots then r 2 = –r 1 is another. This is because raising the latter's coefficient –1 to the n th power for even n yields 1: that is, (– r 1 ) n = (–1) n × r 1 n = r 1 n .

  9. Balmer series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series

    The Balmer series is characterized by the electron transitioning from n ≥ 3 to n = 2, where n refers to the radial quantum number or principal quantum number of the electron. The transitions are named sequentially by Greek letter: n = 3 to n = 2 is called H-α, 4 to 2 is H-β, 5 to 2 is H-γ, and 6 to 2 is H-δ.
