Math Problem Statement

Convert (200,000)10 = ( )13

Solution

To convert the decimal number 200,00010200,000_{10} to base 13, follow these steps:

  1. Divide 200,000 by 13 and note the quotient and remainder. 200,000÷13=15,384 remainder 8200,000 \div 13 = 15,384 \text{ remainder } 8 So, the least significant digit is 88.

  2. Divide the quotient (15,384) by 13 and continue noting the remainders: 15,384÷13=1,183 remainder 515,384 \div 13 = 1,183 \text{ remainder } 5 So, the next digit is 55.

  3. Divide the quotient (1,183) by 13: 1,183÷13=91 remainder 01,183 \div 13 = 91 \text{ remainder } 0 The next digit is 00.

  4. Divide the quotient (91) by 13: 91÷13=7 remainder 091 \div 13 = 7 \text{ remainder } 0 The next digit is 00.

  5. Finally, divide 7 by 13: 7÷13=0 remainder 77 \div 13 = 0 \text{ remainder } 7 So, the most significant digit is 77.

Therefore, the base-13 equivalent of 200,00010200,000_{10} is 70,0581370,058_{13}.
