Recall that the ancient Egyptian system described in this section was simple grouping, used a base of ten, and
contained seven distinct symbols. The largest number expressible in that system is 9,999,999. Identify the largest
number expressible in the following simple grouping system.
base ten, 5 distinct symbols
The largest number expressible would be
(Type a whole number.)
We usually write numbers in decimal form (or base 10), meaning numbers are composed using
10 different “digits" {0, 1, ... , 9}. Sometimes though it is useful to write numbers hexadecimal
or base 16. Now there are 16 distinct digits that can be used to form numbers:
{0, 1, ...,9, A, B, C, D, E, F}. So for example, a 3 digit hexadecimal number might be 2B8.
Assume that digits and letter can be repeated.
a. How many 6-digit hexadecimals are there in which the first digit is E or F?
b. How many 3-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) and end with a numeral (0-9)?
c. How many 4-digit hexadecimals start with a letter (A-F) or end with a numeral (0-9) (or
both)?
