OCT 31 = DEC 25 Is this true? Explain. |
|
oct 31 = (3x81) + (1x80) = dec 25 So oct 31 is equal to dec 25. Octal 31 has the same value as decimal 25. Both octal and October are abbreviated as oct and both December and decimal are abbreviated as dec. October 31 is Halloween and December 25 is Christmas. Hexadecimals. |

[b]Ratters[/b] is right. In octadecimal (base 8), there is no numeral above 7. In decimal (base 10), there is no numeral above 9. octadecimal: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,30,[b]31[/b] decimal: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,[b]25[/b] In octadecimal (OCT), "31" is the 25th number. |
