sexagesimal

The Mesopotamians also used a sexagesimal system, that is base sixty.

This number has the particularly simple sexagesimal representation 1,0,0,0,0.

Then to compute any sexagesimal product, say 53n, one only needed to add 50n and 3n computed from the table.

One sixtieth of this, using their standard sexagesimal divisions, was a degree.

With so many factors, many fractions of sexagesimal numbers are simple.

He employed a sexagesimal system that was derived from Babylonian mathematics.

However, the representation of these fractions as sexagesimal numbers does not depend on such an interpretation.

Alternatively, the traditional sexagesimal unit subdivision can be used.

The lack of a positional value (or zero) was indicated by a space between sexagesimal numerals.

We are left with a base-60, or sexagesimal numeral system utilizing 60 of the 62 standard alphanumerics.

In this article, all sexagesimal digits are represented as decimal numbers, except where otherwise noted.

The use of a calendar with 360 days may be related to the use of sexagesimal numbers.

His first paper on Babylonian mathematics, in 1927, was an account of the origin of the sexagesimal system.

The Babylonian system of mathematics was sexagesimal (base 60) numeral system.

The table below shows the sexagesimal representation of all fractions of this type in which the denominator is less than 60.

This sexagesimal system became the standard number system in Sumer and Babylonia.

Babylonian-style sexagesimal numeration is still used in modern societies to measure time (minutes per hour) and angles (degrees).

There was only positional decimal arithmetic in China, never any sexagesimal arithmetic.

In the Babylonian sexagesimal notation, the reciprocal of a regular number has a finite representation, thus being easy to divide by.

Sexagesimal numerals came to be widely used in commerce, but were also used in astronomical and other calculations.

The current sexagesimal system of time measurement dates to approximately 2000 BC, in Sumer.

The Babylonians used a sexagesimal positional number system, analogous to the modern day decimal system.

Latitude and longitude should be displayed by sexagesimal fractions (i.e. minutes and seconds).

However, the Assyrians used a sexagesimal number system, whereas the Sephirot use a decimal system.

Seven is the first integer reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) with infinitely repeating sexagesimal representation.
