...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. Jl prime... | |

...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 all... | |
