Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following is the correct representation of the decimal number 10 in base-3?
Step 1: Start with the decimal number 10 that you want to convert to base-3.
Step 2: Divide 10 by 3. The result is 3 with a remainder of 1. (10 ÷ 3 = 3, remainder 1)
Step 3: Take the quotient from the previous step (which is 3) and divide it by 3 again. The result is 1 with a remainder of 0. (3 ÷ 3 = 1, remainder 0)
Step 4: Now take the new quotient (which is 1) and divide it by 3. The result is 0 with a remainder of 1. (1 ÷ 3 = 0, remainder 1)
Step 5: You have now reached a quotient of 0, which means you can stop dividing.
Step 6: Write down the remainders from the last division to the first. The remainders are 1, 0, and 1.
Step 7: Reading the remainders from bottom to top gives you 110, which is the representation of the decimal number 10 in base-3.
