Number Systems Report

Write a 3-paragraph report that examines three (3) of the number systems we have studied this year.

In each paragraph you should answer the following questions:

1. How does this system work? What are the building blocks?
2. Does this system have place value?
3. What digits, if any, does this system use?
4. What is the biggest # you can make in this system?
5. What trades can you make in this system? That is, are there different ways to make the same number?
6. How would you rate this system? Is it efficient and easy to use?

ALSO include at least one example or diagram showing how to make a number in this system. For your example/diagram, pick a number bigger than 100 (that's "one hundred," not "one zero zero").

Example:

In base-2 157 would be

10011101

because

1(128)+1(16)+1(8)+1(4)+1(1)=157

Nathaniel - it depends on how many people solve it. Try to do as many as you can.
