Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for encoding numbers in a way that improves the accuracy and efficiency of one or more computing devices working with the transmitted/stored encoded numbers. When the encoded value is missing one or more bits after transmission or storage, the remaining bits of the encoded value will be optimally rounded up or down for the number of bits actually received.
