equations in binary
Hey jus help me with this thing
Suppose ax+by=d and ex+fy=g are two equations in binary (base 2)..........with a,b,c,d,e,f,g being in binary (obviously)....so hw to solve it directly rather then converting to the conventional decimal and getting the answer later converting it to binary.
can it be generalised for any other base??

Re: equations in binary
it makes no difference whether it's in binary, decimal, octal, hexadecimal or whatever other base you want to use, the methods are exactly the same

Yes, there is a number, then there is the way we show that number: Binary Decimal and Hexadecimal Numbers (the little "counting" thing is helpful)
