The bit. One bit contains a binary memory cell that will return a 1 or a zero.
In abstract terms, the bit tells the system the answer to ONE UNAMBIGUOUS question with a yes or a no. In Boolean math it is called true or false.
In hardware terms, when current flows through the cell, it will either boost it (High=1=Yes) or lower it (Low=0=No) returning the answer to the question.
For making accurate arithmetic calculation, you must always use integers (-infinity...-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4....infinity) using floating point numbers or floats (3.14, 1.7, 0.99999999999....etc) is banned by the IEEE and ISO 9000 and other standards organizations for good reason, if your ERP system uses floats and calculates enough transaction using floats, you will either lose tons of $ or have some 'splainin to do to clients and the IRS.
if the calculation involves money use integers.... so $1.50 must be read in as 150 cents and returned as another integer (let's say we calculated the tax and the answer is $1.61, the integer 161 must be returned and converted to $1.61 OUTSIDE of the program that did the financial calculation).
Point = use ints whenever poss. and always use ints for $.

Why are waste percentages are used in the calculation of unit rates?

How did they use calculation in the old days?
The abacus was an instrument used by Greeks and Romans for arithmetic calculations, preceding the slide-rule and the electronic calculator, and consisted of perforated pebbles sliding on iron bars.
What does the term standard unit mean?
Standard Unit is a language used for writing programs for computer systems.
What metric unit can you use for the width of a computer monitor?
centimeters is the best unit but millimeters can also be used.
What is the scientific calculation for work?
W = FD the unit used in force is joule(J), and for force is newton(N), distance is meter(M)
What is CPU alu and mu cu?
First of all CPU Is a term used to describe Central Processing Unit and that is also known as the Processor. Alu - Arithmetic Logic Unit is the same as Maths Calculation except it is related for the Computer term as to how the processor works. i will write about it more later on today enough for now.

What is it called on the computer when the electronic components of the computer used to process data?
The CPU is in charge of processing the data. In more detail, the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is in charge of executing logical and arithmetic operations. The ALU is a component of the CPU.
Is the smallest commonly used linear unit?
Math and arithmetic

What was the first computer used for calculation?
The first computer used for calculation is highly dependent on what you consider a computer to be. In many views, the first computer used for calculations was the abacus which dates back to 2400 BC.
What is the classification of Z1 Computer?
The Z1 was a mechanical digital computer built by Konrad Zuse in Germany in the late 1930s. It was binary and did only floating point arithmetic. It had a Harvard Architecture. Hope that helps. The Z2 used the mechanical memory of the Z1, but replaced the mechanical floating point arithmetic unit with a relay integer arithmetic unit. The Z3 was all relays with only floating point arithmetic, but was destroyed by bombs in WW2. After WW2 he resumed making better and better computers.
What are the registers ALU and CU?
alu is arithematic logic unit. it is a part of computer system. it performs arithematic operations like +,-,*,/etc.alu is arithematic logic unit. it is a part of computer system. it performs arithematic operations like +,-,*,/etc.
Calculation of the arithmetic mean for grouped data which value is used to represent all the values in a particular class?
The class midpoint
Does alu is the unit that coordinates different devices of computer system?
No the ALU or arithmetic logic unit is a high speed maths co-processor. At one time it used to be a separate chip but these days its usually created as part of the CPU.
what of the flowing device is used for calculation?
The device that is used for calculation is a calculator. However, in computers, the part of the device that is used for computation would be the CPU, or the central processing unit.
In the calculation of the arithmetic mean for grouped data which value is used to represent all the values in a particular class?
It is usually the midpoint of the class.
How integer represented in arithmetic logic unit?
0 and 1 are the Sign Magnitudes0 is used as +ve1 is used as -vee.g if we see+1810 = 100102 but in the arithmetic representation well be 0100102-1810 = 100102 but in the arithmetic representation well be 1100102
