Answer 9

actually our number system, the hindu- arabic contains 10 digits, so thats why we have a base 10 number system

if your number system has only 5 digits you would have a base 5.

So ancient cultures had a base 60 system as it allowed them to trade with others who had a different number system

leave it ..
its worth less topic to debate about..

Answer 11

lets try adding some number in base five

lets add 15 and 9

in base five this is

30 + 14

converting back to base 10

5x4 + 1x4
20+4
=24

Answer 14

that was easier than i thought

Answer 15

so???

Answer 16

so MATHS

Answer 17

now im gonna try adding one-hundred-and-five + forty-four

410 + 134

= 1044

\[= 5^3\times1+5^1\times4+5^0\times4\]
\[=125+20+4\]
\[=145\]

Answer 18

i did nt came to know about how u got 145

Answer 19

i mean 149

Answer 20

lolz

Answer 21

k even that how u cal, i came to know abt 1044 but not this

Answer 22

in base 5

5=10

Answer 23

ok thank you t dnt we try for other base

Answer 24

ok how about base eleven

the numbers
\[0, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11\]become\[0_{11}, 1_{11},2_{11},3_{11},4_{11},5_{11},6_{11},7_{11},8_{11},9_{11},T_{11},10_{11}\]

Answer 25

how can we add 23+54 in base 11

Answer 26

lets add these numbers
\[10+77+121+200\]
\[=T_{11}+70_{11}+100_{11}+172_{11}\]\[=T_{11}+332_{11}\]\[=341_{11}\]

\[=11^2\times3+11\times4+1\]\[=121\times3+44+1\]\[=363+45\]\[=408\]

Answer 27

\[23+54\]
\[=21_{11}+4T_{11}\]\[=70_{11}\]\[=7\times11\]\[=77\]

Answer 28

can u pls elobrate
2111+4T11
=7011
=7×11
=77

Answer 29

i am nt geting how to add in base 11

Answer 30

\[=21_{11}+4T_{11}\]

\[= \begin{array}{c} 21 \\ 4T&+\\\hline\\ 60+10\\\end{array}\]\[=70\]

Answer 31

remember in base eleven 10 is eleven, not ten

Answer 32

should we try a simpler example or is this starting to make sense?

Answer 33

pls try simpler example

Answer 34

\[5+5\]\[=5_{11}+5_{11}\]\[=T_{11}\]\[=10\]

____________

\[5+6\]\[=5_{11}+6_{11}\]\[=10_{11}\]\[=11\]

Answer 35

how did 5+5 became 5+6 in further step

Answer 36

the post above is ment to be two different examples

Answer 37

hey once u check those 2 answers

Answer 38

?

Answer 39

10 base 11 is 10 or 11

Answer 40

10 base 11 is 11 in base 10

Answer 41

ten \(10=T_{11}\)

eleven \(11=10_{11}\)

Answer 42

ok i got u

Answer 43

if we were using hexadecimal (base 16)

the numbers
\[\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16\}\]
could be represented like this
\[\{0_{16},1_{16},2_{16},3_{16},4_{16},5_{16},6_{16},7_{16},8_{16},9_{16},A_{16},B_{16},C_{16},D_{16},E_{16},F_{16},10_{16}\}\]

Answer 44

so we can calculate in the same way in many bases

Answer 45

thank u
