thanks for posting this. what does "decimally smooth" mean in this context?
- jacobolus 9y agoI just mean a number such that both itself and its reciprocal is a terminating decimal (rather than a repeating decimal like the reciprocal of 3; 1/3 = 1.33333...). That is, some rational number made up of 2 to some power times 5 to some power (either or both of the exponents could be negative). “Decimally regular” might be a more standard term.
