  2. Change of base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_base

    This is known as base conversion. The logarithmic change-of-base formula, one of the logarithmic identities used frequently in algebra and calculus. The method for changing between polynomial and normal bases, and similar transformations, for purposes of coding theory and cryptography. Construction of the fiber product of schemes, in algebraic ...

    The smallest base greater than binary such that no three-digit narcissistic number exists. 80: Octogesimal: Used as a sub-base in Supyire. 85: Ascii85 encoding. This is the minimum number of characters needed to encode a 32 bit number into 5 printable characters in a process similar to MIME-64 encoding, since 85 5 is only slightly bigger than 2 ...

  4. Positional notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_notation

    In books and articles, when using initially the written abbreviations of number bases, the base is not subsequently printed: it is assumed that binary 1111011 is the same as 1111011 2. The base b may also be indicated by the phrase "base-b". So binary numbers are "base-2"; octal numbers are "base-8"; decimal numbers are "base-10"; and so on.

  5. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    Conversion of (357) 10 to binary notation results in (101100101) To convert from a base-10 integer to its base-2 (binary) equivalent, the number is divided by two. The remainder is the least-significant bit. The quotient is again divided by two; its remainder becomes the next least significant bit.

  6. Numeral system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_system

    In general, if b is the base, one writes a number in the numeral system of base b by expressing it in the form a n b n + a n − 1 b n − 1 + a n − 2 b n − 2 + ... + a 0 b 0 and writing the enumerated digits a n a n − 1 a n − 2... a 0 in descending order. The digits are natural numbers between 0 and b − 1, inclusive.

  7. Q (number format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format)

    The Q notation is a way to specify the parameters of a binary fixed point number format. For example, in Q notation, the number format denoted by Q8.8 means that the fixed point numbers in this format have 8 bits for the integer part and 8 bits for the fraction part. A number of other notations have been used for the same purpose.

    Quaternary numeral system (base 4) Quater-imaginary base (base 2 √ −1) Quinary numeral system (base 5) Pentadic numerals – Runic notation for presenting numbers; Senary numeral system (base 6) Septenary numeral system (base 7) Octal numeral system (base 8) Nonary (novenary) numeral system (base 9) Decimal (denary) numeral system (base 10)

  9. Non-integer base of numeration - Wikipedia

    Base √ 2 behaves in a very similar way to base 2 as all one has to do to convert a number from binary into base √ 2 is put a zero digit in between every binary digit; for example, 1911 10 = 11101110111 2 becomes 101010001010100010101 √ 2 and 5118 10 = 1001111111110 2 becomes 1000001010101010101010100 √ 2.
