Math Problem Statement

Convert from 175, a base-10 number, to a base-4 number. Enter your result as a string of digits in the correct order with no spaces or commas.

Solution

To convert the decimal number 175 into base 4, follow these steps:

  1. Divide the number by 4 and record the remainder.
  2. Use the quotient for the next division by 4, and repeat the process until the quotient is zero.
  3. The base-4 number is then the remainders read from bottom to top.

Let's do the conversion for 175.

175÷4=43 remainder 3175 \div 4 = 43 \text{ remainder } 3 43÷4=10 remainder 343 \div 4 = 10 \text{ remainder } 3 10÷4=2 remainder 210 \div 4 = 2 \text{ remainder } 2 2÷4=0 remainder 22 \div 4 = 0 \text{ remainder } 2

Reading the remainders from bottom to top, 175 in base-10 is equal to 2233 in base-4.
