Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the decimal equivalent of the base-4 number '132'?
  • Step 1: Identify the base-4 number, which is '132'.
  • Step 2: Understand that in base-4, each digit represents a power of 4, starting from the rightmost digit.
  • Step 3: Write down the powers of 4 for each digit in '132':
  • - The rightmost digit (2) is in the 4^0 place (which is 1).
  • - The middle digit (3) is in the 4^1 place (which is 4).
  • - The leftmost digit (1) is in the 4^2 place (which is 16).
  • Step 4: Multiply each digit by its corresponding power of 4:
  • - 1 (from '132') * 16 (4^2) = 16
  • - 3 (from '132') * 4 (4^1) = 12
  • - 2 (from '132') * 1 (4^0) = 2
  • Step 5: Add all the results together: 16 + 12 + 2 = 30.
  • Step 6: The decimal equivalent of the base-4 number '132' is 30.
