Explain the Address Translation mechanism in Paging. Why is the page size normally some power of two?

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Paging Address Translation

Logical (p,d) → page table base + p → frame → physical (f,d). Page size power of 2 allows split via bits: low bits offset, high bits page; enables fast masking/shifting, no division. Example 4KB=2^12.
