Orders of magnitude (numbers)

This list contains selected positive numbers in increasing order, including counts of things, dimensionless quantities and probabilities. Each number is given a name in the short scale, which is used in English-speaking countries, as well as a name in the long scale, which is used in some of the countries that do not have English as their national language. Mathematics – random selections: Approximately is a rough first estimate of the probability that a typing "monkey", or an English-illiterate typing robot, when placed in front of a typewriter, will type out William Shakespeare's play Hamlet as its first set of inputs, on the precondition it typed the needed number of characters. However, demanding correct punctuation, capitalization, and spacing, the probability falls to around 10−360,783. Computing: 2.2 is approximately equal to the smallest non-zero value that can be represented by an octuple-precision IEEE floating-point value. 1 is equal to the smallest non-zero value that can be represented by a quadruple-precision IEEE decimal floating-point value. 6.5 is approximately equal to the smallest non-zero value that can be represented by a quadruple-precision IEEE floating-point value. 3.6 is approximately equal to the smallest non-zero value that can be represented by an 80-bit x86 double-extended IEEE floating-point value. 1 is equal to the smallest non-zero value that can be represented by a double-precision IEEE decimal floating-point value. 4.9 is approximately equal to the smallest non-zero value that can be represented by a double-precision IEEE floating-point value. 1.5 is approximately equal to the probability that in a randomly selected group of 365 people, all of them will have different birthdays. 1 is equal to the smallest non-zero value that can be represented by a single-precision IEEE decimal floating-point value. Mathematics: The chances of shuffling a standard 52-card deck in any specific order is around 1.24 (or exactly ) Computing: The number 1.
