Balanced ternary
As with all numbering systems, each place is equal to the number Multiplied by the system's base raised to that positions location. For example with the base 10 number 1234, the value is 1x 103 (1000) + 2 x 102 (100) + 3 x 101 (10) + 4 x 100.(1) In base 3, these same values would be 27, 9, 3 and 1.
