System of numeration
Summary
1
Objective 1 – Evaluate an exponential expression.
bn is read “the nth power of b” or “b to the nth power.” Thus, the nth power of b is defined as the
product of n factors of b. We say b is the base and n is the exponent in bn.

Key Terms
Divisions
Summary
To convert a base ten numeral to a base b numeral, use mental conversions or
repeated divisions by powers of b to find how many groups of each place value
are contained in the base ten numeral.

Section 4.3 Computation in Positional Systems
Objective 1 – Add in bases other than ten.
Objective 2 – Subtract in bases other than ten.
Objective 3 – Multiply in bases other than ten.
Objective 4 – Divide in bases other than ten.
Summary
Computations in bases other than ten are performed using the same
procedures as in ordinary base ten arithmetic. When a computation is
equal to or exceeds the given base, use mental conversions to convert
from the base ten numeral to a numeral in the desired base. For
addition, you will add values in base 10, but convert any sum larger
than b – 1 into the corresponding value in the given base.

AC216 + 76816 = 122A16
2 + 8 = 10 A16 (We directly write A)
C + 6 = 18 1216 (We write 2 and carry 1 to the digit on the left)
1 + A + 7 = 1216

Section 4.4 Looking Back at Early Numeration Systems
Key Terms
Roman numeration system
Summary
On the other hand, if symbols increase in value from left to right, then
subtract the value of the symbol on the left from the symbol on the
right. For example, IV means 5 - 1 = 4 and IX means 10 - 1 = 9.
22
Only the Roman numerals representing 1, 10, 100, 1000, c, can be
subtracted. Furthermore, they can be subtracted only from their next
two greater Roman numerals.

748 = 700 + 40 + 8
700 = DCC (D+C+C 500 + 100 + 100)
40 = XL (50-10)
8 = VIII (V + I + I + I)
748 = DCCXLVIII
