Product Information

A wood screw is sized by two different numbers. First is the Gauge of the screw which refers to the diameter – the larger the number, the larger the diameter. A number 4 screw is much smaller than a number 12 screw. It is worth noting that there is no direct link here between the head size of an imperial screw and the gauge of that screw. It is purely coincidence that, from screw gauges 6- upwards, that the gauge is close to twice the head diameter although some sources would have you believe this is how the gauge is calculated. In engineering, fractions are widely used to describe the size of components such as pipes and bolts. The most common fractional and decimal equivalents are listed below. 64 th When multiplying decimals, say, 0.2 0.2 0.2 and 1.25 1.25 1.25, we can begin by forgetting the dots. That means that to find 0.2 × 1.25 0.2 \times 1.25 0.2 × 1.25, we start by finding 2 × 125 2 \times 125 2 × 125, which is 250 250 250. Then we count how many digits to the right of the dots we had in total in the numbers we started with (in this case, it's three: one in 0.2 0.2 0.2 and two in 1.25 1.25 1.25). We then write the dot that many digits from the right in what we obtained. For us, this translates to putting the dot to the left of 2 2 2, which gives 0.250 = 0.25 0.250 = 0.25 0.250 = 0.25 (we write 0 0 0 if we have no number in front of the dot). Fraction subtraction is essentially the same as fraction addition. A common denominator is required for the operation to occur. Refer to the addition section as well as the equations below for clarification. a

This is actually quite complicated, as was pointed out by Paul, one of our readers! Here is a more concise explanation of the relationship between gauge (imperial), diameter (metric in mm) and Head size.

This process can be used for any number of fractions. Just multiply the numerators and denominators of each fraction in the problem by the product of the denominators of all the other fractions (not including its own respective denominator) in the problem. EX:

We've spent quite some time together with the standard form calculator, enough to know that we can't leave the answer like this. We haven't learned how to write a number in standard form for nothing. the decimal would then be 0.05, and so on. Beyond this, converting fractions into decimals requires the operation of long division. For our non-American friends out there, the standard form is usually quite a different thing. Outside of the USA (especially in the UK), we say that a number is in its standard form if it's a single value that involves no arithmetic operations whatsoever. This notion is connected to the expanded form, and we explain it all in detail in the dedicated section. Also, note how you can switch between the two variants in the advanced section by choosing the appropriate option in the field " Have the calculator use..."Similarly, fractions with denominators that are powers of 10 (or can be converted to powers of 10) can be translated to decimal form using the same principles. Take the fraction 1 Above we explain that the Gauge (imperial) happens to have a head which is approximately the same number (in mm). This is the equivalent of saying that the diameter in mm is approximately half the gauge (given what the formula above states).
