Math Problem Statement

Give 83A6CC in base 14 in decimal representation.

Solution

To convert the number 83A6CC1483A6CC_{14} from base 14 to decimal (base 10), we follow these steps:

The base 14 number 83A6CC1483A6CC_{14} can be expanded as: 8×145+3×144+10×143+6×142+12×141+12×1408 \times 14^5 + 3 \times 14^4 + 10 \times 14^3 + 6 \times 14^2 + 12 \times 14^1 + 12 \times 14^0 where A=10A = 10 and C=12C = 12 in decimal.

Let's calculate each term:

  1. 8×145=8×537824=43025928 \times 14^5 = 8 \times 537824 = 4302592
  2. 3×144=3×38416=1152483 \times 14^4 = 3 \times 38416 = 115248
  3. 10×143=10×2744=2744010 \times 14^3 = 10 \times 2744 = 27440
  4. 6×142=6×196=11766 \times 14^2 = 6 \times 196 = 1176
  5. 12×141=12×14=16812 \times 14^1 = 12 \times 14 = 168
  6. 12×140=12×1=1212 \times 14^0 = 12 \times 1 = 12

Now, we add these values together: 4302592+115248+27440+1176+168+12=44326364302592 + 115248 + 27440 + 1176 + 168 + 12 = 4432636

So, 83A6CC1483A6CC_{14} in decimal representation is 44326364432636.
