The book shows how to add and subtract binary and decimal numbers. However, other numbering systems are also very popular when dealing with computers. The octal (base 8) numbering system is one of these. The following table shows pairs of octal numbers:
| | A | B |
|---|------|------|
| a | 3174 | 0522 |
| b | 4165 | 1654 |
1) What is the sum of A and B if they represent unsigned 12-bit octal numbers? The result should be written in octal. Show your work.
Answer (2)
a). 3174 0522
3716
b). 4165 1654
10111
Sorry. This is all that can be shown. The rest is all verbal.
The sum of the octal numbers 3174 and 0522 is 3716. For the second pair 4165 and 1654, the sum is 10111. Both results are represented in octal notation.
