have some powers of two, as a treat: 4294967296 2147483648 1073741824 536870912 268435456 134217728 67108864 33554432 16777216 8388608 4194304 2097152 1048576 524288 262144 131072 65536 32768 16384 8192 4096 2048 1024 512 256 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
this is right! this is how binary to decimal conversion works. the BNs are the the powers of two: each digit is the previous increased by itself => each digit is the previous multiplied by 2 => nth digit is 2 to the nth power.
positional base for a given B works the same way if you change "add all the powers of two where there is a one" to "add all the powers of K multiplied by the corresponding digit" (these are equivalent if K is 2; multiplying something by 0 is 0)
say you want to get the decimal number of the octal number 5756. let's get the powers that we need:
- 83 = 512
- 82 = 64
- 81 = 8
- 80 = 1
and 5*512 + 7*64 + 5*8 + 6*1 = 3054. this will work for every octal(/binary) number!
