Math Problem Statement

Write the base 10 number of 34563 in base 6

Solution

To convert the base-10 number 3456334563 to base-6, follow these steps:

Step 1: Divide by 6 and Record Remainders

We repeatedly divide the number by 6 and keep track of the remainders:

34563÷6=5760 remainder 334563 \div 6 = 5760 \text{ remainder } 3 5760÷6=960 remainder 05760 \div 6 = 960 \text{ remainder } 0 960÷6=160 remainder 0960 \div 6 = 160 \text{ remainder } 0 160÷6=26 remainder 4160 \div 6 = 26 \text{ remainder } 4 26÷6=4 remainder 226 \div 6 = 4 \text{ remainder } 2 4÷6=0 remainder 44 \div 6 = 0 \text{ remainder } 4

Step 2: Read the Remainders from Bottom to Top

The base-6 representation is:

4240036\mathbf{424003_6}

Thus, the base-10 number 34563 is 424003 in base-6.
