Solution - Base conversion

3, 067

3,067

Step-by-step explanation

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

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

${(B F B)}_{16} = 11 \cdot 16^{2} + 15 \cdot 16^{1} + 11 \cdot 16^{0}$

$11 \cdot 16^{2} + 15 \cdot 16^{1} + 11 \cdot 16^{0} = 3067$

Expand each digit by place value: $11 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $15 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $11 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $3, 067$ in base 10.

$\frac{3067}{10} = 306 r e m a \in d e r 7$

$\frac{306}{10} = 30 r e m a \in d e r 6$

$\frac{30}{10} = 3 r e m a \in d e r 0$

$\frac{3}{10} = 0 r e m a \in d e r 3$

$7 \to 6 \to 0 \to 3 = 3067$

$3067 (b a s e 10) = {(3067)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $3, 067$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $3, 067$ .
