Lesson 8

Octal Arithmetic

Page 265

Previous Lesson


Your answer :
58 + 58 = 108.
You added in decimal, all right, but since the sum is more than 7, you should ass 2 more to get the sum in octal notation. Besides that, 108 in octal notation has a value of eight. Five plus five isn’t eight in any system.
