QUÉ SIGNIFICA DOZEN EN INGLÉS

Docena

Dozen

Una docena es una agrupación de doce. La docena puede ser una de las primeras agrupaciones primitivas, quizás porque hay aproximadamente una docena de ciclos de la luna o meses en un ciclo del sol o del año. Doce es conveniente porque tiene más divisores que otros números pequeños: 12 = 2 × 6 = 3 × 4 = 1 × 12. El uso de doce como un número base, conocido como sistema duodecimal, probablemente se originó en Mesopotamia. Esto podría venir de contar con los dedos contando cada hueso del dedo con el pulgar. Utilizando este método, una mano puede contar hasta doce, y dos manos pueden contar hasta 144. Doce docenas se conocen como un bruto; Y doce brutos se llaman un gran bruto, un término utilizado con más frecuencia cuando el envío o la compra de artículos a granel. Un centenar, también conocido como un pequeño grueso, es 120 o diez docenas. Una docena de panaderos, también conocida como grande, o larga docena, es 13.

A dozen is a grouping of twelve. The dozen may be one of the earliest primitive groupings, perhaps because there are approximately a dozen cycles of the moon or months in a cycle of the sun or year. Twelve is convenient because it has more divisors than other small numbers: 12 = 2 × 6 = 3 × 4 = 1 × 12. The use of twelve as a base number, known as the duodecimal system, probably originated in Mesopotamia. This could come from counting on one's fingers by counting each finger bone with one's thumb. Using this method, one hand can count to twelve, and two hands can count to 144. Twelve dozen are known as a gross; and twelve gross are called a great gross, a term most often used when shipping or buying items in bulk. A great hundred, also known as a small gross, is 120 or ten dozen. A baker's dozen, also known as big, or long dozen, is 13.
