Perform arithmetic directly in any base. Binary (base 2): 1011+110=10001. Hex (base 16): FF+1=100. Octal (base 8): 77+1=100. Works like decimal arithmetic but carries at the base value instead of 10.
How to Use
Select base and operation:
- Base: 2 to 36
- Numbers: Enter in selected base
- Result: Answer in same base
Carrying in Bases
Carry when digit ≥ base. Binary: 1+1=10 (carry). Hex: F+1=10 (carry). Octal: 7+1=10 (carry). Same principle as decimal (9+1=10) but threshold changes.
Common Bases
- Binary (2): computing fundamentals
- Octal (8): Unix file permissions
- Decimal (10): everyday use
- Hexadecimal (16): memory addresses, colors
