Solution - Base conversion

2, 259

2,259

Step-by-step explanation

${(8 D 3)}_{16} = b a s e 10$

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

${(8 D 3)}_{16} = 8 \cdot 16^{2} + 13 \cdot 16^{1} + 3 \cdot 16^{0}$

$8 \cdot 16^{2} + 13 \cdot 16^{1} + 3 \cdot 16^{0} = 2259$

Expand each digit by place value: $8 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $13 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $3 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $2, 259$ in base 10.

$\frac{2259}{10} = 225 r e m a \in d e r 9$

$\frac{225}{10} = 22 r e m a \in d e r 5$

$\frac{22}{10} = 2 r e m a \in d e r 2$

$\frac{2}{10} = 0 r e m a \in d e r 2$

$9 \to 5 \to 2 \to 2 = 2259$

$2259 (b a s e 10) = {(2259)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $2, 259$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $2, 259$ .
