Basic Integer arithmetic

Examples of integer arithmetic

The operands in integer arithmetic can be of the same base or of
mixed bases.

Mixed-base arithmetic

With one exception, where you
have operands of different
bases, the result of the
calculation is presented in the
base of the first operand. The
example at the right shows two
equivalent calculations: the first
multiplies 4

10

by 57

10

and the

second multiplies 57

10

by 4

10

. Obviously the results too are

mathematically equivalent. However, each is presented in the
base of the operand entered first: 16 in the first case and 8 in the
second.
The exception is if an operand is
not marked as an integer by
preceding it with #. In these
cases, the result is presented in
base 10.

Decimal equivalent

#10000b+#10100b =

#1100b

8 + 20 = 28

#71o–#10100b =

#45o

57 – 20 = 37

#4Dh * #11101b = #8B9h

77 × 29 = 2233

#32Ah/#5o = #A2h
