SCALE:   DECIMAL RANGE = (0 to 9)

Question:

Add 75 + 8

Answer:

How many columns will I need?

Log(What ever number that you are trying to scale) / Log(radix)

Log of 75 /Log of 10(radix) = 1.87

Always round up if there is a remainder.

We will need 2 columns!

EACH col represents ? bits

? bits + ? bits

COLUMNS      10-1

BIT VALUE      7  5

BIT VALUE      0  8

TOTAL             8  3
