In a number system base n you have: … x 2 x 1 x 0 = ⋯ + x 2 ⋅ n 2 + x 1 ⋅ n 1 + x 0 ⋅ n 0
Therefore in base 4 + i ⋅ 2 we have: z = 4 2 4 4 + i ⋅ 2 = 4 ⋅ ( 4 + i ⋅ 2 ) 2 + 2 ⋅ ( 4 + i ⋅ 2 ) 1 + 4 ⋅ ( 4 + i ⋅ 2 ) 0 = [ 4 8 + i ⋅ 6 4 ] + [ 8 + i ⋅ 4 ] + [ 4 ] = 6 0 + i ⋅ 6 8
And finally: R e ( z ) + I m ( z ) = 1 2 8
