Meaning of "Quantity下一桁２"


What does 下一桁２ mean? In context, it is referring to some quantity and seems to
mean under half, but not too low.

In this usage, why is ichi in kanji while 2 is a numeral? Can I replace the
numbers with other numbers and get a different meaning? In the real world,
when would someone want to use this phrasing instead of "x to y"?




  * 下【しも】: low
  * 一【ひと】: one
  * 桁【けた】: digit
  * ２

So 下一桁２ probably means "the last (one) digit **is** 2" (e.g., `102`, `65432`).
が/は seems to be omitted for some reason (I don't know why because you provided
virtually no context).

When you talk about a position of a digit, a careful writer does this to avoid
confusion. For example, [this Wikipedia

seems to be carefully written according to the convention.

  * 千の位 thousands place
  * 小数第三位 the third decimal place

Similar examples:

  * 十六進数 hexadecimal number
  * 五角形 pentagon
