Add 2 8 + 3 8

Answer 1

To add the two numbers \(2_8\) and \(3_8\) in base 8, we can follow these steps:

1. Align the numbers:

     2
   + 3
   

2. Add the digits in the same way as you would in base 10. Since both digits (2 and 3) are less than 8, we can simply add them together:

   \(2 + 3 = 5\)

3. Since 5 is also less than 8, there is no need for carrying.

Thus, the result of adding \(2_8\) and \(3_8\) is:

\[ 5_8 \]

So, \(2_8 + 3_8 = 5_8\).
