Solution

To convert the base ten numeral 729729 to base seven, we can use the method of successive division by 7, keeping track of the remainders. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Divide 729 by 7: 729÷7=104with a remainder of 1729 \div 7 = 104 \quad \text{with a remainder of } 1 (Write down the remainder 11).

  2. Divide the quotient 104 by 7: 104÷7=14with a remainder of 6104 \div 7 = 14 \quad \text{with a remainder of } 6 (Write down the remainder 66).

  3. Divide the quotient 14 by 7: 14÷7=2with a remainder of 014 \div 7 = 2 \quad \text{with a remainder of } 0 (Write down the remainder 00).

  4. Divide the quotient 2 by 7: 2÷7=0with a remainder of 22 \div 7 = 0 \quad \text{with a remainder of } 2 (Write down the remainder 22).

Since the quotient is now 00, we stop the division process. The base seven numeral is obtained by reading the remainders from the last to the first. Therefore, 729729 in base ten is equal to 206172061_7 in base seven.

Summary:

  • 729÷7=104729 \div 7 = 104, remainder 11
  • 104÷7=14104 \div 7 = 14, remainder 66
  • 14÷7=214 \div 7 = 2, remainder 00
  • 2÷7=02 \div 7 = 0, remainder 22

Final Answer: 72910=20617729_{10} = 2061_7
