Octal works on the principal of combining 3 bits Hex combine
Octal works on the principal of combining 3 bits. Hex combines 4. Pick a new base (2 bits =
base 4, 5 bits = base 32, 6 bits = base 64) and show me the algorithm to convert to and from your
new base system. Show your work.
Solution
For a new base-N system, such that
N=2n
we have to combine n-bits of the binary system to form the base-N system.
The combining should start from right most (LSB) towards (MSB), such that zeros are added to the left such that total bits in base-2 are an integral multiple of \'n\'.
