Solution - Base conversion

1, 222

1,222

Step-by-step explanation

${(4 C 6)}_{16} = b a s e 10$

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

${(4 C 6)}_{16} = 4 \cdot 16^{2} + 12 \cdot 16^{1} + 6 \cdot 16^{0}$

$4 \cdot 16^{2} + 12 \cdot 16^{1} + 6 \cdot 16^{0} = 1222$

Expand each digit by place value: $4 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $12 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $6 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $1, 222$ in base 10.

$\frac{1222}{10} = 122 r e m a \in d e r 2$

$\frac{122}{10} = 12 r e m a \in d e r 2$

$\frac{12}{10} = 1 r e m a \in d e r 2$

$\frac{1}{10} = 0 r e m a \in d e r 1$

$2 \to 2 \to 2 \to 1 = 1222$

$1222 (b a s e 10) = {(1222)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $1, 222$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $1, 222$ .
