434

434

Step-by-step explanation

${(1 B 2)}_{16} = b a s e 10$

Identify the source number, source base, and target base before converting through base 10.

${(1 B 2)}_{16} = 1 \cdot 16^{2} + 11 \cdot 16^{1} + 2 \cdot 16^{0}$

$1 \cdot 16^{2} + 11 \cdot 16^{1} + 2 \cdot 16^{0} = 434$

Expand each digit by place value: $1 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $11 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $2 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $434$ in base 10.

$\frac{434}{10} = 43 r e m a \in d e r 4$

$\frac{43}{10} = 4 r e m a \in d e r 3$

$\frac{4}{10} = 0 r e m a \in d e r 4$

$4 \to 3 \to 4 = 434$

$434 (b a s e 10) = {(434)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $434$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $434$ .
