Math Problem Statement
Solution
To convert the base-10 number 248 to a base-6 numeral, we need to repeatedly divide the number by 6 and keep track of the remainders. Here's the step-by-step process:
-
Divide 248 by 6: So, the first digit from the right is 2.
-
Divide 41 by 6: The next digit from the right is 5.
-
Divide 6 by 6: The next digit is 0.
-
Finally, divide 1 by 6: The last digit is 1.
Now, putting all the remainders together from last to first, we get:
