Math Problem Statement

Convert the decimal numbers 169 and 2028 to base 13 representation.

Solution

To convert the remaining decimal numbers 169169 and 20282028 into base 13, we can proceed with the following steps:

  1. Convert 169 to base 13:

    • 169÷13=13169 \div 13 = 13 remainder 00
    • 13÷13=113 \div 13 = 1 remainder 00
    • So, 16910169_{10} in base 13 is represented as 10013100_{13}.
  2. Convert 2028 to base 13:

    • 2028÷13=1562028 \div 13 = 156 remainder 00
    • 156÷13=12156 \div 13 = 12 remainder 00
    • 1212 in base 13 is simply represented as CC (since base 13 uses 00 to CC where CC represents 1212).
    • So, 2028102028_{10} in base 13 is represented as C0013C00_{13}.

Thus, the answers are:

  • 16910=10013169_{10} = 100_{13}
  • 202810=C00132028_{10} = C00_{13}

Would you like further explanations on these conversions, or do you have any questions?

Here are five related questions to expand on this topic:

  1. How do you convert numbers from base 13 back to decimal?
  2. Why is base 13 less commonly used than bases like 10, 2, and 16?
  3. How do we represent letters (like AA, BB, and CC) in base 13 and other bases above 10?
  4. What are the practical applications of using different bases in mathematics and computing?
  5. Can you explain the process of converting other base numbers, like base 7 or base 8, to decimal?

Tip: When converting numbers to a base that is not standard, always double-check if the new base requires symbols for digits beyond 99, like using letters in base 13, 16, etc.
