A ternary / ˈ t ɜːr n ər i / numeral system (also called base 3 or trinary [1]) has three as its base. Analogous to a bit , a ternary digit is a trit ( tri nary dig it ). One trit is equivalent to log 2 3 (about 1.58496) bits of information .
The positional systems are classified by their base or radix, which is the number of symbols called digits used by the system. In base 10, ten different digits 0, ..., 9 are used and the position of a digit is used to signify the power of ten that the digit is to be multiplied with, as in 304 = 3×100 + 0×10 + 4×1 or more precisely 3×10 2 ...
Balanced ternary is a ternary numeral system (i.e. base 3 with three digits) that uses a balanced signed-digit representation of the integers in which the digits have the values −1, 0, and 1. This stands in contrast to the standard (unbalanced) ternary system, in which digits have values 0, 1 and 2.
It is easy to subtract a number by inverting the + and − digits and then using normal addition. Balanced ternary can express negative values as easily as positive ones, without the need for a leading negative sign as with unbalanced numbers. These advantages make some calculations more efficient in ternary than binary. [10]
As an example, starting with the number 8991 in base 10: 9981 – 1899 = 8082 8820 – 0288 = 8532 8532 – 2358 = 6174 7641 – 1467 = 6174. 6174, known as Kaprekar's constant, is a fixed point of this algorithm. Any four-digit number (in base 10) with at least two distinct digits will reach 6174 within seven iterations. [1]
For example, the base-8 numeral 23 8 contains two digits, "2" and "3", and with a base number (subscripted) "8". When converted to base-10, the 23 8 is equivalent to 19 10, i.e. 23 8 = 19 10. In our notation here, the subscript "8" of the numeral 23 8 is part of the numeral, but this may not always be the case.
In some systems, while the base is a positive integer, negative digits are allowed. Non-adjacent form is a particular system where the base is b = 2.In the balanced ternary system, the base is b = 3, and the numerals have the values −1, 0 and +1 (rather than 0, 1 and 2 as in the standard ternary system, or 1, 2 and 3 as in the bijective ternary system).
If only numbers with unique non-zero digits are considered, a three-digit number in base ten can have a digit-sum ranging from 6 = 1+2+3 to 24 = 7+8+9. If these potential digit-sums are used in the formula 2 x digit-sum x 11, the digit-sum of the result will determine whether or not the result is an Osiris number.
