Combinatorial number system 601 and 1010001011 = 651, which again shows that "C" comes before "C"<nowiki>'</nowiki>. This number is not however the one one wants to represent the "k"-combination with, since many binary numbers have a number of raised bits different from "k"; one wants to find the relative position of "C" in the ordered list of (only) "k"-combinations. The number associated in the combinatorial number system of degree "k" to a "k"-combination "C" is the number of "k"-combinations strictly less than "C" in the given ordering. This number can be computed from "C" = { "c", ..., "c", "c" } with "c"
Binary number "Kitchen", where he had assembled it), which calculated using binary addition. Bell Labs authorized a full research program in late 1938 with Stibitz at the helm. Their Complex Number Computer, completed 8 January 1940, was able to calculate complex numbers. In a demonstration to the American Mathematical Society conference at Dartmouth College on 11 September 1940, Stibitz was able to send the Complex Number Calculator remote commands over telephone lines by a teletype. It was the first computing machine ever used remotely over a phone line. Some participants of the conference who witnessed the demonstration were John von Neumann, John
