The PGM field allowed a program instruction-a jump in the form of a " jump " to a new column then auto printout of a calculated field ( including decimal place control ) as well as punched card control, etc.

Any fraction of an inch involved in the measurement must be converted to a decimal equivalent to simplify the mathematics.

It is possible to follow a decimal expansion with a vulgar fraction ; this is done with the recent divisions of the troy ounce, which has three places of decimals, followed by a trinary place.

A decimal fraction is a fraction whose denominator is a power of ten.

Any rational number with a denominator whose only prime factors are 2 and / or 5 may be precisely expressed as a decimal fraction and has a finite decimal expansion.

If the rational number's denominator has any prime factors other than 2 or 5, it cannot be expressed as a finite decimal fraction, and has a unique eventually repeating infinite decimal expansion.

Omar Khayyám ( 1048 – 1131 ), a Persian scientist, calculated the length of a solar year to 10 decimal places and was only out by a fraction of a second when compared to our modern day calculations.

A longitude is thus specified in sexagesimal notation as 23 ° 27 ′ 30 " E. For higher precision, the seconds are specified with a decimal fraction.

An alternative representation uses degrees and minutes, where parts of a minute are expressed in decimal notation with a fraction, thus: 23 ° 27. 500 ′ E. Degrees may also be expressed as a decimal fraction: 23. 45833 ° E. For calculations, the angular measure may be converted to radians, so longitude may also be expressed in this manner as a signed fraction of π ( pi ), or an unsigned fraction of 2π.

Every number is thought of as a decimal fraction with the initial decimal point omitted, which determines the filing order.

Julian Dates are expressed as a Julian day number with a decimal fraction added.

The fraction of the day is found by converting the number of hours, minutes, and seconds after noon into the equivalent decimal fraction.

SMPTE timecodes () contain binary coded decimal hour: minute: second: frame identification and 32 bits for use by users.

The decimal halfpenny ( ½p ) () coin was the smallest denomination of the Irish pound.

Another possible source of the suanpan is Chinese counting rods, which operated with a decimal system but lacked the concept of zero as a place holder.

The 1 / 4 abacus, which is suited to decimal calculation, appeared circa 1930, and became widespread as the Japanese abandoned hexadecimal weight calculation which was still common in China.

There was to be a store ( that is, a memory ) capable of holding 1, 000 numbers of 40 decimal digits each ( ca.

The numeral system employed, known as algorism, is positional decimal notation.

Astronomical year numbering is based on AD / CE year numbering, but follows normal decimal integer numbering more strictly.

For example A ( 4, 2 ) is an integer of 19, 729 decimal digits.

For m ≥ 4, however, it grows much more quickly ; even A ( 4, 2 ) is about 2, and the decimal expansion of A ( 4, 3 ) is very large by any typical measure.

While the numerical difference between the decimal and binary interpretations is relatively small for the prefixes kilo and mega, it grows to over 20 % for prefix yotta, illustrated in the linear-log graph ( at right ) of difference versus storage size.

In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal ( BCD ) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each decimal digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight, although other sizes ( such as six bits ) have been used historically.

BCD's main virtue is a more accurate representation and rounding of decimal quantities as well as an ease of conversion into human-readable representations.

Although BCD is not as widely used as in the past, decimal fixed-point and floating-point formats are still important and continue to be used in financial, commercial, and industrial computing, where subtle conversion and rounding errors that are inherent to floating point binary representations cannot be tolerated.

In contrast with " binary prefix ", this usage is referred to as a " decimal prefix ", as 1000 is a power of 10.
