| More fractions can therefore be represented as finite sexagesimal fractions than can as finite decimal fractions. |
|
| The findings of the Heraion prove that this sexagesimal submultiple was once used also in Greece proper. |
|
| The Elamites apparently adopted the sexagesimal system from the Sumerians and only used a decimal notation when counting animals. |
|
| Here is an example of a septimal clock, placed next to a standard sexagesimal clock for comparison. |
|
| It gave tables of sines with entries calculated to three sexagesimal places for each half degree of the argument. |
|
| He produced his Treatise on the Circumference in July 1424, a work in which he calculated 2p to nine sexagesimal places and translated this into sixteen decimal places. |
|
| The entry of the border coordinates and standard raster resolution can be in the decimal degrees system or sexagesimal system. |
|
| Sumerians and Babylonians employed a sexagesimal number system. |
|
| In fact there are fascinating glimpses of the Babylonians coming to terms with the fact that division by 7 would lead to an infinite sexagesimal fraction. |
|
| The necessary background mathematical tools are then introduced such as the arithmetical operations on sexagesimal fractions and the trigonometric functions. |
|
| The Babylonian scale of enumeration is known as the sexagesimal system. |
|
| The relationship between the hour, minute and second is sexagesimal, whereas the SI strives to define units that have a decimal relationship. |
|
| In ancient Babylon a sexagesimal system, that is a base of 60, was in use. |
|
| The sexagesimal method developed by the Babylonians has a far greater computational potential than what was actually needed for the older problem texts. |
|
| Georges Ifrah, a 20th-century French mathematician, proposed that the sexagesimal system grew out of an alternative method of counting known as the duodecimal system, common throughout Asia. |
|
| He employed a sexagesimal system that was derived from Babylonian mathematics. |
|
| The Babylonian number system was developed at around 3100BC and used base 60, called a sexagesimal system. |
|
| The sexagesimal system with numerals denoted by letters of the Arabic alphabet. |
|
| All numbers will be written in the sexagesimal system of numeration used by the Babylonians. |
|
| For computing with angles, the Greeks adopted the Mesopotamian sexagesimal method in arithmetic, whence it survives in the standard units for angles and time employed to this day. |
|
|
|
| Other important details which make the Scafodat an exceptional diver's watch include a highly legible dial, a sexagesimal scale, an automatic security valve, and an exclusive bracelet. |
