This illustrates that cyclic permutations are somehow related to repeating decimals and the corresponding fractions. Thus, it is often useful to convert repeating decimals into fractions. The Basic can use integers, decimals and floating point numbers. Muslim mathematicians were the first to utilize decimals instead of fractions on a large scale. Any digits to the right of the units represent decimals&colon; tenths, hundredths, etc. To convert integer decimals to octal, prefix the number with "0.". Those reciprocals of primes can be associated with several sequences of repeating decimals. At present, there is no single universally accepted notation or phrasing for repeating decimals. These smaller units allow for more accurate calculations without the use of decimals. Some may calculate the conversion rates with more decimals internally but only 4 are displayed. Latitude and longitude are stored in units of degrees with decimals. There are several notational conventions for representing repeating decimals. In English, there are various ways to read repeating decimals aloud. Additional precision can be provided using decimals for the arcseconds component. For example, multiple techniques in the book involve the use of high-precision decimals.
