Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a base-6 number system, what is the product of '12' and '3'?
  • Step 1: Understand that '12' in base-6 means 1 group of 6 and 2 units.
  • Step 2: Calculate the value of '12' in base-10: 1*6 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8.
  • Step 3: Recognize that '3' in base-6 is the same as '3' in base-10.
  • Step 4: Multiply the two values in base-10: 8 (from '12') * 3 = 24.
  • Step 5: Convert the product (24) back to base-6.
  • Step 6: To convert 24 to base-6, divide 24 by 6. The quotient is 4 and the remainder is 0.
  • Step 7: Divide the quotient (4) by 6. The quotient is 0 and the remainder is 4.
  • Step 8: Read the remainders from last to first. The base-6 representation of 24 is '40'.
