This relation is again multiplied by 8 giving:Now we put b 2 = 5 and arrive atMultiplying by 8 we findThus b 3 = 2 andFinally we findThis gives:163 = b 2 + b 38 + b 48 2 + ɛ · 82 .13 = b 38 + b 48 2 + ɛ · 82 .83 = b 3 + b 48 + ɛ · 83 .23 = b 48 + ɛ · 83 .163 = b 4 + ɛ · 8 4 .b 4 = 5, ɛ = 1 3 · 8−4 .We next establish:We have namely:1/3 = (0.252525 . . .) 8 .(0.252525 . . .) = 2 8 + 5 8 2 + 2 8 3 + 5 8 4 + . . .= 2 8 (1 + 8−2 + 8 −4 + . . .) + 5 8 2 (1 + 8−2 + 8 −4 + . . .)= (2/8 + 5/8 2 )(1/(1 − 1/64)) = 1/3 .Remark 2.3.2 If B = B p 0 with p an integer, then one digit in the B systemcorresponds to p numbers in the B 0 -system.Example 2.3.3 B = 1000, p = 3, B 0 = 10π = 3.141 592 654 = 3 · B 0 + 141 · B −1 + 592 · B −2 + 654 · B −3 .We also find that one digit in the system with B = 16 corresponds to 4 digitsfor B = 2. We now introduce:Definition 2.3.4 Two real numbers a and b are said to be computationallyequivalent, if they have the same representation in a given computer.We realise that whether or not two given numbers are computationally equivalentdepends on the working accuracy of the computer used. The definition ofcomputational equivalence is extended to vectors, matrices and functions in anobvious way.24
