Homework Statement
This really isn't a calc question so forgive me.
Determine which base(radix) is used in the following operation :
a ) 1234 + 1234 + 1234 + 1234 = 11101
b ) 19 * 18 = 297
I know the answer to a but am not sure how to get it.
What I see is the for a) the answer has to be greater than base 4, and for b) it has
to be radix >=10.
Is there some tricks that could help me figure out what base is in general a expression is on?
