Balanced Ternary - Convert A Number To Balanced Ternary

Convert A Number To Balanced Ternary

We may convert to balanced ternary with the following formula:

(a_na_{n-1}\cdots a_1a_0.c_1 c_2 c_3\cdots)_b = \sum_{k=0}^n a_kb^k + \sum_{k=1}^\infty c_kb^{-k}.

The is the original representation in the original numeral system.

The b is the original radix. If we convert a decimal number to balanced ternary, b is 10 in decimal.

The numbers and are the weights of the corresponding digits.

The k is the position away fom the radix point.

The and is the number at the position k.

If we convert a number to balanced ternary, we should use balanced ternary representation of the base b and position k .


Such as:

-25.410=-(1T×1011+1TT×1010+11*101-1) =-(1T×101+1TT+11÷101) =-10T1.11TT =T01T.TT11 1010.12=1T100+1T1+1T-1 =10T+1T+0.1 =101.1

    “Our institutions have a potent digestion, and may in time convert and assimilate to good all elements thrown in, however originally alien.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “This nightmare occupied some ten pages of manuscript and wound off with a sermon so destructive of all hope to non-Presbyterians that it took the first prize. This composition was considered to be the very finest effort of the evening.... It may be remarked, in passing, that the number of compositions in which the word “beauteous” was over-fondled, and human experience referred to as “life’s page,” was up to the usual average.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.”
    —Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
