Question
Chapter C, Problem C.16E
Program Plan Intro
To find out the lowest digits in the base 12 number system and what will be the highest digit as well as what are the positional values of the rightmost four positions.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given base is 12.
Explanation:
The digits of base 12 number system is={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B}
• Zero(0) is the lowest value in the base 12. So, the lowest digit in base 12 is: 0
• The letter ‘B’ is the highest value in base 12. So, the highest symbol for the digit in base 12 is: B (for decimal value 11)
The positional values of the rightmost four positions in each of the indicated base 12 number system:

Some people argue that many of our calculations would be easier in the base 12 numbersystem because 12 is divisible by so many more numbers than 10 (for base 10). What is the lowestdigit in base 12? What would be the highest symbol for the digit in base 12? What are the positionalvalues of the rightmost four positions of any number in the base 12 number system?
I want to know about the rounding rules to the binary numbers. What if you were working with a single precision computer and had to round x = (1.1111...1) * 2^-1 with the last 1 being the 26th digit? How would you do that? Can you give different examples of binary numbers that you would have to use other rules to round?
