...g-:>7OT3*i as before. The arithmetical complement of any number is the difference between that number and 1 with as many ciphers annexed as there are figures in the number; thus the arithmetical complement of 57 is 43, which is the difference ofs/ and 100; and therefore... | |

...any number whatever, but the denominator of the latter, when expressed, is always 10, 100, 1000, or 1 with as many ciphers annexed as there are figures in the decimal. The least common multiple is the least number, which can be so divided without a remainder.... | |

...From what is there stated, it is obvious that the denominator of a decimal fraction will be unity, with as many ciphers annexed as there are figures in the given numerator. i- jq Thus .5, .043, .00307, will be changed into — , — , and respectively. 60. Since... | |

...Hence, conversely : 116. The denominator of a decimal, thus expressed, is the number denoted by a unit with as many Ciphers annexed, as there are figures in the given number. Thus, .'37 is TW ; '004 is ToW '00083, TTFff ^ &C. 117. From this notation it is evident, that... | |

...What, then, will always be the denominator of a decimal fraction ? A. It will always be an unit or 1, with as many ciphers annexed, as there are figures in the decimal expression. Q. From what do decimal fractions arise, and how are they produced ? A. They, like... | |

The denominator of a decimal fraction is not usually expressed, since it can be easily determined, it being 1 with as many ciphers annexed as there are figures in the given decimal. 158. A decimal fraction is distinguished from a whole number by a period,...
