Sociologists can get three possible answers to a typical survey question such as "Do you believe in the tooth fairy?" -namely, yes, no, and no opinion. With this in mind, the Sociomagnetic Computer Company has decided to build a computer to process survey data. This computer has a trinanry of memory-that is, each byte (tryte?) consists of 8 trits, with a trit holding a 0, 1, or 2. How many trits are needed to hold a 6-bit number? Give an expression for the number or trits needed to hold n bits.
A 6 bit number has 26 = 64 possible combinations
As a trit consists of 3 states 0,1 or 2 so we need to use modular 3 arithmetic to determine how many trits (N) are required to store any 6 bit number
We therefore need to solve the equation
3^N >= 64 (1)
Taking Logs to base 10 each side of (1) we get
Log{3}^N >= Log{64}
N*Log{3} >= Log{64}
N >= Log{64}/Log{3}
N >= 1.806/0.477
N >= 3.785
As we can only consider whole integers for N, the number of trits needed to store a 6 bit number must be at least N = 4
In order to store n bits we can develop a similar expression to one noting that the number n of binary bits can store 2n decimal numbers
Thus we say that 3^N >= 2^n (2)
Again taking Logs to base 10 of both sides of (2) we get
N*Log{3} >= n*Log{2}
Thus the number of trits (N) necessary to fully express an n bit number is given by (3)
N >= n*Log{2}/Log{3} (3) {where N is the rounded up to the next whole integer}
