#0, Converting Base Numbers
Posted by Shirley Reeves (Guest) on Mar-10-01 at 11:08 PM
I have a math problem for a college class that I have no idea how to do.
Given the base two number 10110100 base2, give the brief explanation of how this number could be converted directly to a base eight numeral (without firsst converting to base 10 and then back to base 8)
(HINT: 10 110 100 base 2= 264 base 8 )
