Can you give the EXACT number of bytes there are in 256 terabytes? If you can, show how you did it.
10000000000 0000000000 0000000000 0000000000 00000000 (in binary) since it is 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 256
You have to give it in decimals, not in binary otherwise its too easy. Daniel your answer is wrong.
What do you mean:
This sounds sort of like a homework problem. "If you can, show how you did it," said ToxicBug.
To me,it sounds like something really stupid...I don't know why i even bothered to answer...:yuck:
I tried just counting up to that number on my fingers and toes, alas I maxed out at 1,048,575. Right now, I have the population of Anchorage, AK working on the problem.
Oh, please, please hurry before too many fingers and toes fall off from frost bite
I just wanted to see if people know the trick for it.
Its a lot easier than that.
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.
And why wasn't my answer right...?BTW,on both posts it coincides with yours...
Exponent notation is not a trick, it's a very normal tool used by almost all mathematicians, engineers, and physicists.
And how is this a decimal representation ?
Because its decimal numbers, not binary
Good point...He probably meant the 15 digit number...BTW,it's called "BASE 10".
2^48 without a calculator?
Wow, i must of been gone way to long. :uhh:
Any one can do it,provided he/she has a piece of papaer and a pencil,so let's not exaggerate...
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.
You would square 1024, square the result, then multiply that by 128.
I second that.:)
