352/9 = 39-1/9 = 27 + 9 + 3 + 1/9 = 1*3^3 + 1*3^2 + 1*3^1 + 0*3^0 + 0*3^(-1) + 1*3^(-2) = 1110.01_3
Another example, where -1 comes into play: Using ordinary ternary {0,1,2} representation: 100 = 1*3^4 + 0*3^3 + 2*3^2 + 0*3^1 + 1*3^0 = 10201_3{0,1,2} Now transform into the {0,1,-1} representation by replacing 2 with -1 and adding 1 to the place digit to the left, propagating a carry if necessary. I.e., if as you add 1 to the digit to the left it becomes 2, then you repeat the transformation on that digit as well. I'll write 1 bar as X. = 11X01_3{0,1,-1} Dave On Aug 30, 6:46 pm, Raj N <rajn...@gmail.com> wrote: > In ternary number representation, numbers are represented as 0,1,-1. > (Here -1 is represented as 1 bar.)
