Can you give the EXACT number of bytes there are in 256 terabytes? If you can, show how you did it.
And how is this a decimal representation ?ToxicBug said:You take 2^X,Y where X is the units, for example: 0 - bytes, 1 - kilobytes, 4 - terabytes, etc. Then for Y you find the exponent 2^Y for the number. 256 is 2^8, so the answer is 2^48.
Because its decimal numbers, not binaryGokul43201 said:And how is this a decimal representation ?
motai said:2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 ... that is a lot of twos. I should be doing something else more productive right about now.
One tip is to practice mental math regularly to improve your skills. Another is to break down complex calculations into smaller, more manageable parts. Additionally, using estimation and rounding techniques can make solving problems easier without a calculator.
Long division can be done using the traditional method of writing out the problem and solving it step by step. Another technique is to use repeated subtraction to find the quotient. You can also use estimation to check your answer.
Some common mental math strategies include using shortcuts such as multiplying by 10 or dividing by 2, using the distributive property, and breaking down numbers into smaller factors. You can also use patterns and relationships between numbers to solve problems mentally.
One way to improve mental math skills is to practice regularly. You can also challenge yourself with more difficult problems and try to solve them without a calculator. Additionally, learning different mental math strategies can help you approach problems in different ways.
Being able to do math without a calculator can improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It also allows for a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and builds confidence in one's abilities. In real-world situations, having strong mental math skills can also save time and be more practical than relying on a calculator.
