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

Famous quotes containing the words convert a, convert, number and/or balanced:

    “To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    “The English did not come to America from a mere love of adventure, nor to truck with or convert the savages, nor to hold offices under the crown, as the French to a great extent did, but to live in earnest and with freedom.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
    —Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)

    “I balanced all, brought all to mind,
    The years to come seemed waste of breath,
    A waste of breath the years behind
    In balance with this life, this death.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
