Definition that contains numeration system
- base (numeration system) the positive integer that is equivalent to one in the next higher counting place
- radix (numeration system) the positive integer that is equivalent to one in the next higher counting place
- equivalent-binary-digit factor the average number of binary digits needed to express one radix digit in a numeration system that is not binary; on the average a number that can be expressed in N decimal digits takes 3.3N binary digits
- floating-point representation system a radix numeration system in which the location of the decimal point is indicated by an exponent of the radix; in the floating-point representation system, 0.0012 is represented as 0.12-2 where -2 is the exponent
- fixed-point notation a radix numeration system in which the location of the decimal point is fixed by convention
- positional notation a numeration system in which a real number is represented by an ordered set of characters where the value of a character depends on its position
- fixed-point representation system a radix numeration system in which the location of the decimal point is fixed by convention
