Solution - Base conversion

995

995

Step-by-step explanation

${(3 E 3)}_{16} = b a s e 10$

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

${(3 E 3)}_{16} = 3 \cdot 16^{2} + 14 \cdot 16^{1} + 3 \cdot 16^{0}$

$3 \cdot 16^{2} + 14 \cdot 16^{1} + 3 \cdot 16^{0} = 995$

Expand each digit by place value: $3 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $14 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $3 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $995$ in base 10.

$\frac{995}{10} = 99 r e m a \in d e r 5$

$\frac{99}{10} = 9 r e m a \in d e r 9$

$\frac{9}{10} = 0 r e m a \in d e r 9$

$5 \to 9 \to 9 = 995$

$995 (b a s e 10) = {(995)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $995$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $995$ .
