A number system based on 26 uses the letters of the alphabet as its digits, with $A = 0, B = 1, C = 2, D = 3, E = 4, . . . , Y = 24,$ and $Z = 25. $ What is the the sum: ONE + ONE = in this system

you have to do this sum as you would make it in decimal base, that is, coloumnwise
E+E=4+4=8=I
N+N=13+13=26=BA
B+O+O=1+14+14=29=BD
So the result is BDAI

We know that $$ 1+1=2$$
This can be represented in your system as
$$B+B=C$$
Now consider the number 32 it can be written as $25+7$ which is equivalent to AH.
Now consider the number 53 this can be written as $ 25+25+3$ which is equivalent to BD.

Please can you come up with an algorithm to this with an end solution – marth-anna love wuanti Oct 05 '14 at 13:40

Do you mean conversion algorithm. I will try to find it out – Jasser Oct 05 '14 at 13:48

If you want to convert number from decimal system to your number system then the hint is to divide the number by 25. – Jasser Oct 05 '14 at 13:58

if the numbber is divided by 25 and has a remainder then what becomes of the remainder – marth-anna love wuanti Oct 05 '14 at 16:54
