Math Problem Statement

745 10 change base 5

Solution

To convert the number 74510745_{10} (in base 10) to base 5, follow these steps:

Steps:

  1. Divide the number by 5 and record the remainder.
    This remainder becomes the least significant digit (rightmost digit) in base 5.

  2. Repeat the division with the quotient until the quotient becomes 0.
    Each remainder you obtain becomes the next digit in the base 5 representation (from right to left).


Conversion:

  1. 745÷5=149745 \div 5 = 149 remainder 0
    (Least significant digit: 00)

  2. 149÷5=29149 \div 5 = 29 remainder 4
    (Next digit: 44)

  3. 29÷5=529 \div 5 = 5 remainder 4
    (Next digit: 44)

  4. 5÷5=15 \div 5 = 1 remainder 0
    (Next digit: 00)

  5. 1÷5=01 \div 5 = 0 remainder 1
    (Most significant digit: 11)


Final Answer:

Reading the remainders from bottom to top, 74510745_{10} in base 5 is:

74510=104405745_{10} = 10440_5
