Solution - Base conversion

1, 768

1,768

Step-by-step explanation

${(6 E 8)}_{16} = b a s e 10$

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

${(6 E 8)}_{16} = 6 \cdot 16^{2} + 14 \cdot 16^{1} + 8 \cdot 16^{0}$

$6 \cdot 16^{2} + 14 \cdot 16^{1} + 8 \cdot 16^{0} = 1768$

Expand each digit by place value: $6 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $14 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $8 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $1, 768$ in base 10.

$\frac{1768}{10} = 176 r e m a \in d e r 8$

$\frac{176}{10} = 17 r e m a \in d e r 6$

$\frac{17}{10} = 1 r e m a \in d e r 7$

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

$8 \to 6 \to 7 \to 1 = 1768$

$1768 (b a s e 10) = {(1768)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $1, 768$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $1, 768$ .
