Chinese numerals are words and characters used to denote numbers in written Chinese.
The decimal numeral system is the standard system for denoting integer and non-integer numbers. It is the extension to non-integer numbers of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system. The way of denoting numbers in the decimal system is often referred to as decimal notation.
In linguistics,a numeral in the broadest sense is a word or phrase that describes a numerical quantity. Some theories of grammar use the word "numeral" to refer to cardinal numbers that act as a determiner that specify the quantity of a noun,for example the "two" in "two hats". Some theories of grammar do not include determiners as a part of speech and consider "two" in this example to be an adjective. Some theories consider "numeral" to be a synonym for "number" and assign all numbers to a part of speech called "numerals". Numerals in the broad sense can also be analyzed as a noun,as a pronoun,or for a small number of words as an adverb.
A decimal separator is a symbol that separates the integer part from the fractional part of a number written in decimal form. Different countries officially designate different symbols for use as the separator. The choice of symbol also affects the choice of symbol for the thousands separator used in digit grouping.
Crore (;abbreviated cr) denotes the quantity ten million (107) and is equal to 100 lakh in the Indian numbering system. In many international contexts,the decimal quantity is formatted as 10,000,000,but when used in the context of the Indian numbering system,the quantity is usually formatted 1,00,00,000.
The Japanese numerals are numerals that are used in Japanese. In writing,they are the same as the Chinese numerals,and large numbers follow the Chinese style of grouping by 10,000. Two pronunciations are used:the Sino-Japanese (on'yomi) readings of the Chinese characters and the Japanese yamato kotoba.
In various East Asian languages such as Mandarin Chinese,Japanese,Korean,and Vietnamese,the phrase "Wànsuì","Banzai","Manse",and "Vạn tuế",respectively,meaning "myriad years" is used to wish long life,and is typically translated as "Long live" in English. The phrase originated in ancient China as an expression used to wish long life to the emperor. Due to the historical political and cultural influence of Chinese culture on the East Asian cultural sphere,in the area,and in particular of the Classical Chinese language,cognates with similar meanings and usage patterns have appeared in many East Asian languages and Vietnamese. In some countries,this phrase is mundanely used when expressing feeling of triumph,typically shouted by crowds.
-yllion is a proposal from Donald Knuth for the terminology and symbols of an alternate decimal superbase system. In it,he adapts the familiar English terms for large numbers to provide a systematic set of names for much larger numbers. In addition to providing an extended range,-yllion also dodges the long and short scale ambiguity of -illion.
10,000 is the natural number following 9,999 and preceding 10,001.
Indefinite and fictitious numbers are words,phrases and quantities used to describe an indefinite size,used for comic effect,for exaggeration,as placeholder names,or when precision is unnecessary or undesirable. Other descriptions of this concept include:"non-numerical vague quantifier" and "indefinite hyperbolic numerals".
The Korean language uses special measure or counting words for specific objects and events. These suffixes are called subullyusa in Korean. They are similar to the ones employed in the Chinese and the Japanese languages.
Depending on context some large numbers have names that allow for describing large quantities in a textual form;not mathematical. For very large values,the text is generally shorter than a decimal numeric representation although longer than scientific notation.
Myria- (symbol my) is a now obsolete decimal metric prefix denoting a factor of 104 (ten thousand). It originates from the Greek μύριοι(mýrioi) (myriad). The prefix was part of the original metric system adopted by France in 1795,but was not adopted when the SI prefixes were internationally adopted by the 11th CGPM conference in 1960.
The long hundred,also known as the great hundred or twelfty,is the number 120 that was referred to as hund,hund-teontig,hundrað,hundrath,or hundred in Germanic languages prior to the 15th century,and is now known as one hundred and twenty,or six score. The number was translated into Latin in Germanic-speaking countries as centum,but the qualifier long is now added because English now uses hundred exclusively to refer to the number of five score (100) instead.
Tumen,or tümen,was a decimal unit of measurement used by the Turkic and Mongol peoples to quantify and organize their societies in groups of 10,000. A tumen denotes a tribal unit of 10,000 households,or a military unit of 10,000 soldiers.
The Iranian toman is a superunit of the official currency of Iran,the rial. One toman is equivalent to 10 (old),or 10,000 rials.
The Suzhou numerals,also known as Sūzhōu mǎzi (蘇州碼子),is a numeral system used in China before the introduction of Hindu numerals. The Suzhou numerals are also known as huāmǎ (花碼),cǎomǎ (草碼),jīngzǐmǎ (菁仔碼),fānzǐmǎ (番仔碼) and shāngmǎ (商碼).
Numeral or number prefixes are prefixes derived from numerals or occasionally other numbers. In English and many other languages,they are used to coin numerous series of words. For example:
Historically Vietnamese has two sets of numbers:one is etymologically native Vietnamese;the other uses Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary. In the modern language the native Vietnamese vocabulary is used for both everyday counting and mathematical purposes. The Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary is used only in fixed expressions or in Sino-Vietnamese words,in a similar way that Latin and Greek numerals are used in modern English.
Wanhua Lou,also translated into English as Pavilion of Myriad Flowers and Pavilion of Ten Thousand Flowers,is a Chinese novel written by Li Yutang (李雨堂) during the Qing dynasty.
