Convert the base-7 number 232055 to a base-10 number.

Solution

To convert the base-7 number 2320557232055_7 into a base-10 number, follow these steps:

We expand the base-7 number using powers of 7:

2320557=2×75+3×74+2×73+0×72+5×71+5×70232055_7 = 2 \times 7^5 + 3 \times 7^4 + 2 \times 7^3 + 0 \times 7^2 + 5 \times 7^1 + 5 \times 7^0

Now, calculate each term:

2×75=2×16807=336142 \times 7^5 = 2 \times 16807 = 33614 3×74=3×2401=72033 \times 7^4 = 3 \times 2401 = 7203 2×73=2×343=6862 \times 7^3 = 2 \times 343 = 686 0×72=00 \times 7^2 = 0 5×71=5×7=355 \times 7^1 = 5 \times 7 = 35 5×70=5×1=55 \times 7^0 = 5 \times 1 = 5

Now sum them all up:

33614+7203+686+0+35+5=4154333614 + 7203 + 686 + 0 + 35 + 5 = 41543

So, the base-10 equivalent of 2320557232055_7 is 41543.
