Question

One way of extending the number system in Method 2 is by using strings with more than one letter — for example, we could use ‘aa’ for 27. How can you extend this system to represent all the numbers? There are many ways of doing it!

Answer

One of the ways of extending the number system in Method 2 by using strings with more than one letter is :

Single letter	Double letter combination	Triple letter combination
a = 1 b = 2 c = 3 .... z = 26	aa = 27 ab = 28 ac = 29 .... az = 52 ba = 53 bb = 54 bc = 55 .... zz = 702(26 x 26 + 26)	aaa = 703 aab = 704 aac = 705 and so on ...
