Spanish term or phrase: números denominados
Hola a todos:

¿Cómo se llaman en inglés lo que se conoce como ç2números denominados" en español? Tengo entendido que números enteros son "whole numbers", números racionales son "rational numbers", pero ¿"números denominados"?

Toda ayuda será de gran valor, como siempre. Gracias.

Abbreviations are sometimes used in denominate numbers. These abbreviations do not have periods after them, except that \"in.\" is used as the symbol for inch to avoid confusion with the word in. These abbreviations are used for both singular and plural units of measure, so \"ft\" is the symbol for foot and feet, and \"m\" is the symbol for meter and meters.
