The answer to exercise marked [BB] can be found in the Back of the Book.

(a) Suppose the natural number N is (an−1a0)b (in base b). Prove that n − 1 = [logb N] (and hence that N has 1 + [logb N] digits in base b).


(b) How many digits does 7254 have in its base 10 representation?


(c) How many digits does the number 319566 have in its base 10 representation?
