Math Problem Statement

Convert from 1642, a BASE-10 NUMBER to a BASE-7 NUMBER.

Solution

The problem is asking to convert the base-10 number 16421642 into a base-7 number. Let's walk through the process of conversion.

Steps to Convert from Base-10 to Base-7:

  1. Divide the number by 7 and record the quotient and remainder.
  2. Repeat the division process on the quotient until the quotient is 0.
  3. The base-7 number will be the sequence of remainders read from bottom to top.

Calculation:

  1. 1642÷7=2341642 \div 7 = 234 remainder 44
  2. 234÷7=33234 \div 7 = 33 remainder 33
  3. 33÷7=433 \div 7 = 4 remainder 55
  4. 4÷7=04 \div 7 = 0 remainder 44

Now, reading the remainders from bottom to top, we get the base-7 number:

Result: 453474534_7

So, 164210=453471642_{10} = 4534_7.
