:confused:hi how are u all?please i need help i have hard question that i canُ t solve it please explain it to me and solve it or gave me an example which have the same way to solve it please thwe question is:

How many bits are in 1TB? ((Hint: depending on the tool used to calculate this you may need to use a trick to get the exact result. Note that 2^20=1000000(base 10)+d, where d is the difference between 2^20 and 1000000(base10)and that 1T=(1000000(base 10)+d)^2. Expand the equation for 1T into a sum of products form insert the value of d find the three products and then find their sum.
thank you so much.:)

The question is "how many bits are there in 1TB", right?

I can't believe I 'm saying this, but to find the aswer hit the following buttons on a scientific calculator (windows has one): 2 ^ 40 * 8

If I were you I wouldn't bother with the hint equation the question proposes.

but what about this question i solve it but i am not sure about answer please check it for me
A limited number system uses base 12. Suppose there are at most four integer digits. The weights of the digits are 123, 122, 121, and 1. Special names are given to the weights as follows: 12 = 1 dozen, 122 = 1 gross, and 123 = 1 great gross.
(a) How many beverage cans are in 6 great gross + 8 gross + 7 dozen + 4?
(b) Find the representation in base 12 for 756910 beverage cans.
Note: available digits are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B.
Ans:
(a) 6 Ũ 123 + 8 Ũ 122 + 7 Ũ 12 + 4 = 11608
(b) 7569 ũ 12 = 630 ...... 9
630 ũ 12 = 52 ...... 6
52 ũ 12 = 4 ...... 4
4 ũ 12 = 0 ...... 4
756910 = 446912
and what we mean by ũ and Ũ what is the diferent between them
thank u

Please correct the colour of the unit names, which appear in white. You also havent given the weight of the beveragecan.

In all, this seems to be badly coppied. It hardly makes any sense. If you have copied this from a webpage, you propably don't have the right font to display special characters.

what we mean by ũ and Ũ what is the diferent between them
thank u
did we mean by
is ũ =×
and Ũ= ÷
or something else??
thank u
