# Bases
|
||||
|
||||
Does this algorithm work in other bases such as 2, 8, or 16?
|
||||
|
||||
Consider the question:

Q. Does multipling by 2 work in other bases?

|
||||
Q. Why?
|
||||
A. When we write a number in a different base we have the _same representation_ but a _different presentation._
|
||||
|
||||
Adding, Multiplying, Dividing all _function_ the same regardless of which base we use.
