  Chapter 3: Mathematics in Aviation Maintenance › Power of Zero › Square Roots

  Exponents When multiplying numbers with powers, the powers can be added as long as the bases are the same. Figure 3-8. A scale of signed numbers. When dividing numbers with powers, the powers can be subtracted as long ... bases are the same. Example: Powers of Ten Because we use the decimal system of numbers, powers of ten are frequently seen in everyday applications. For example, scientific notation uses powers of ten. Also, many aircraft drawings are scaled…

  Chapter 3: Mathematics in Aviation Maintenance › The Binary Number System › Converting Decimal Numbers to Binary Numbers

  Converting Binary Numbers to Decimal Numbers To convert a binary number to a decimal number, add up the place values that have a 1 (place values that have a zero do not contribute to the decimal number conversion). Example: Convert ... binary number 10110011 to a decimal number. Using the place value chart in Figure 3-35, add up the place values of the ‘1s’ in the binary number (ignore the place values with a zero in the binary number…
