A new Binary Coded Pentary (BCP) number system is proposed in which every digit of a base-55 number is represented by tis corresponding 33-bit binary code. For example, the base-55 number 2424 will be represented by its BCP code 010100.010100. In this numbering system, the BCP code 100010011001100010011001 corresponds to the following number in base-55 …
