Lesson 6
The Octal System
From eight to ten
Page 195
Your answer :
1(82) + 3(81) + 2(80) = 104.
Where did you get off the track?
1(82) + 3(81) + 2(80) = 1(64) + 3(8) + 2(1) = ?
Did you make the mistake of counting
2(80) as
2(8) = 16? For shame. Don’t forget the meaning of a 0 exponent:
b0 = 1.
Now return to Page 191 and choose the correct answer.
