Balanced Ternary - Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication and Division

Addition, Subtraction and Multiplication and Division

As in binary, there are balanced ternary equivalents of shift and add multiplication, and shift and multiply exponentiation algorithms.

The single-trit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tables are shown below. For subtraction and division, which are not commutative, the first operand is given to the left of the table, while the second is given at the top. For instance, the answer to 1-T=1T is found in the bottom left corner of the subtraction table.

Addition

Famous quotes containing the word division:

    “If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
