Arabic numerals or Hindu numerals or Hindu-Arabic numerals or Indo-Arabic numerals are the ten digits ( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ).

These two values are often interpreted as binary digits and are usually denoted by the numerical digits 0 and 1.

In byte-oriented systems ( i. e. most modern computers ), the term uncompressed BCD usually implies a full byte for each digit ( often including a sign ), whereas packed BCD typically encodes two decimal digits within a single byte by taking advantage of the fact that four bits are enough to represent the range 0 to 9.

* Binary numeral system, a representation for numbers using only two digits ( 0 and 1 )

in the ASCII character set, the digits 0 to 9 have sequential

This shows in particular that is a natural number for any natural numbers n and k. There are many other combinatorial interpretations of binomial coefficients ( counting problems for which the answer is given by a binomial coefficient expression ), for instance the number of words formed of n bits ( digits 0 or 1 ) whose sum is k is given by, while the number of ways to write where every a < sub > i </ sub > is a nonnegative integer is given by.

Text, numbers, pictures, audio, and nearly any other form of information can be converted into a string of bits, or binary digits, each of which has a value of 1 or 0.

In the following, Marvin Minsky defines the numbers to be computed in a manner similar to those defined by Alan Turing in 1936, i. e. as " sequences of digits interpreted as decimal fractions " between 0 and 1:

Individuals are identified in the registry by means of a national identification number ( the so-called kennitala ), a number composed of the date of birth in the format and four additional digits, the third of which is a control digit, and the last of which indicates the century in which the person was born ( 9 for the 1900s and 0 for the 2000s ).

Positional decimal systems include a zero and use symbols ( called digits ) for the ten values ( 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 ) to represent any number, no matter how large or how small.

Example: the actual temperature is 23. 234456544453 degrees but if only two digits ( 23 ) are assigned to this parameter in a particular digital representation ( e. g. digital thermometer or table in a printed report ) the quantizing error is: 0. 234456544453.

The characters allowed in a label are a subset of the ASCII character set, and includes the characters a through z, A through Z, digits 0 through 9, and the hyphen.

For example, a fixed-point representation that has seven decimal digits with two decimal places can represent the numbers 12345. 67, 123. 45, 1. 23 and so on, whereas a floating-point representation ( such as the IEEE 754 decimal32 format ) with seven decimal digits could in addition represent 1. 234567, 123456. 7, 0. 00001234567, 1234567000000000, and so on.

which has a 1 as the leading digit and 0 for the remaining digits of the significand, and the smallest possible value for the exponent.

Consider printing the digits of a googolplex in unreadable, one-point font ( 0. 353 mm per digit ).

This means that one kilometre is roughly equal to ( 1 / 40, 000 ) * 360 * 60 meridional minutes of arc, which equals 0. 54 nautical mile, though this is not exact because the two units are defined on different bases ( the international nautical mile is defined as exactly 1, 852 m, corresponding to a rounding of 1000 / 0. 54 m to four digits ).

For example, byte values can range from 0 to 255 ( decimal ), but may be more conveniently represented as two hexadecimal digits in the range 00 to FF.

With regard to the second and / or third letters in the prefixes in the list below, if the country in question is allocated all callsigns with A to Z in that position, then that country can also use call signs with the digits 0 to 9 in that position.

* no prefixes with the digits 1 or 0 are used — they may be confused with the letters I or O.

Again working in base 10, ten different digits 0, ..., 9 are used and the position of a digit is used to signify the power of ten that the digit is to be multiplied with, as in 304 = 3 × 100 + 0 × 10 + 4 × 1 or more precisely 3 × 10 < sup > 2 </ sup > + 0 × 10 < sup > 1 </ sup > + 4 × 10 < sup > 0 </ sup >.

An alternate form of ( 2 ) – the machine successively prints all n of the digits on its tape, halting after printing the n < sup > th </ sup > – emphasizes Minsky's observation: ( 3 ) That by use of a Turing machine, a finite definition – in the form of the machine's table – is being used to define what is a potentially-infinite string of decimal digits.

For Group 6 – Armstand – the dive number has either three or four digits: Three digits for dives without twist and four for dives with twists.

The Gauss – Legendre algorithm is an algorithm to compute the digits of π.

The most famous Arabic mathematician is considered to be Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī ( 780 – 850 ), who produced a comprehensive guide to the numbering system developed from the Brahmi system in India, using only 10 digits ( 0-9, the so-called " Arabic numerals ").

Graph of number of digits in largest known Mersenne prime by year – electronic era.

It has the advantage of not requiring any extra symbols as digits ( the hexadecimal system is base-16 and therefore needs six additional symbols beyond 0 – 9 ).

In the 20th century, mathematicians and computer scientists discovered new approaches that – when combined with increasing computational power – extended the decimal representation of to over 10 trillion ( 10 < sup > 13 </ sup >) digits.

Gerbert learned of Hindu – Arabic digits and applied this knowledge to the abacus, but according to Charles Seife without the numeral of zero.

As describes, the time for finding the fundamental solution using the continued fraction method, with the aid of the Schönhage – Strassen algorithm for fast integer multiplication, is within a logarithmic factor of the solution size, the number of digits in the pair ( x < sub > 1 </ sub >, y < sub > 1 </ sub >).

With finite samples, approximation results measure how close a limiting distribution approaches the statistic's sample distribution: For example, with 10, 000 independent samples the normal distribution approximates ( to two digits of accuracy ) the distribution of the sample mean for many population distributions, by the Berry – Esseen theorem.

* March 14 – The largest correspondence between calendar dates and significant digits of pi since the introduction of the julian calendar.

Daitch – Mokotoff Soundex codes are strings composed of six numeric digits.

* Shannon – Hartley theorem, any statement defining the theoretical maximum rate at which error-free digits can be transmitted over a bandwidth-limited channel in the presence of noise

The digits 1 to 9 in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system evolved from the Brahmi numerals.

( While the use of Hindu-Arabic numerals is occasionally seen, such as in the game Pop-O-Matic Trouble, the ambigrammatic properties of the digits ( for instance, 6 can look like a 9 upside down ) make such dice uncommon.

The numerals used when writing numbers with digits or symbols can be divided into two types that might be called the arithmetic numerals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and the geometric numerals 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000 ... respectively.

( In fact, subtracting 1 and dividing the result by 9 always gives a triangular number, the sequence starting with 3, 55, 903, 3727815, ....) This can be reformulated as follows: adding the digits of any even perfect number ( except 6 ), then adding the digits of the resulting number, and repeating this process until a single digit ( called the digital root ) is obtained, always produces the number 1.

The 1701 had two functions, it represented the first ( 01 ) ship of a 17th federation cruiser design, and that the digits were unlikely to be misread, unlike 6, 8, or 9.

According to this law, the first digit is about 30 % of the time, and larger digits occur as the leading digit with lower and lower frequency, to the point where 9 as a first digit occurs less than 5 % of the time.

In arithmetic, for example, when multiplying by 9, using the divisibility rule for 9 to verify that the sum of digits of the result is divisible by 9 is a sanity test-it will not catch every multiplication error, however it's a quick and simple method to discover many possible errors.

A 5½ digit multimeter would display one " half digit " that could only display 0 or 1, followed by five digits taking all values from 0 to 9.

As the coin-box dial was designed so that toll ( 0 ) and emergency service ( 999 ) calls could be made without inserting coins, it was possible to dial the digits " 0 " and " 9 " without tapping the switch-hook.

The following table represents decimal digits from 0 to 9 in various two-out-of-five code systems:

The last digit is always a check digit, which is obtained by summing all 5, 9 or 11 digits, taking the residue modulo 10 of this sum ( i. e., the remainder after dividing by 10 ) and finally subtracting this from 10.

For example, decimal 365 corresponds to binary 101101101 ( 9 digits ) and to ternary 111112 ( 6 digits ).
