Numbering System Problem Solved

  Numbering System Problem Solved Problem Carry out the following conversions:a) 1238 to the binary system.B) 10101012 to the octal system.C) BACA16 to the binary system.D) 10101012 to the hexadecimal system.E) 1316310 to the binary system.Sug.  Use successive divisions and polynomial decomposition.  T. Solution We present 2 ways to solve this problem. A) First Way: Let's say that this is the trivial way to carry out this process. We convert the number 1238 to a number in base 10 (the one we use), through the polynomial decomposition of the following form:\( 123_8 = 1 \times 8^2 + 2\times 8^1 + 3 \times 8^0 \)\( \rightarrow 1 \times 64 + 2\times 8 + 3 \times 1 \ \rightarrow 83\)Then we convert the number 83 to a number in base 2 (binary) through successiv divisions: We proceed to write the numbers that are enclosed in a square, starting with the number that is on the left side and ending with the one on the right side, thus obtaining the number in base 2, that is:\( 83 = ...

Ballot Numbering

  Ballot Numbering I suggest to the authorities, with time, review the securities of the electoral ballots, the methods of validation and traceability. We are in Ecuador at the gates of a new election on Sunday, August 20, 2023, managed by the National Electoral Council. As a citizen forced to vote, I want the CNE not to tease us again this time and to correct the mistake made in the last elections where all the ballots had the same barcode design without numbers and the same serial number.  This time a 'QR' code is seen on the ballots, which I hope will not be repeated in all of them. Beyond the fact that they staged the recount show with the permission of the IGM (Military Geographic Institute) in 2017, unfolded ballots were seen that were part of the recount show, and the famous "special" paper that looked like a sheet against the light A4 any.  Without being an expert in electoral security, I believe that it is almost unlikely that certain types of printed paper, ...
