   pl. of {Number}. The fourth book of the Pentateuch,
   containing the census of the Hebrews.

   {Commeasurable}.]
   Having a common measure; capable of being exactly measured by

   {Com*men"su*ra*ble*ness}, n.

   {Commensurable numbers} or {quantities} (Math.), those that
      can be exactly expressed by some common unit; thus a foot
      and yard are commensurable, since both can be expressed in
      terms of an inch, one being 12 inches, the other 36
      inches.

   {Numbers}, or {Quantities}, {commensurable in power}, those
      whose squares are commensurable.

numbers
     
        (Scientific computation) Output from a computation that may
        not be significant but at least indicates that the program is
        running.  Numbers may be used to placate management, grant
        sponsors, etc.  "Making numbers" means running a program
        because output - any output, not necessarily meaningful output
        - is needed as a demonstration of progress.
