Solution - Base conversion

218

218

Step-by-step explanation

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

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

${(D A)}_{16} = 13 \cdot 16^{1} + 10 \cdot 16^{0}$

$13 \cdot 16^{1} + 10 \cdot 16^{0} = 218$

Expand each digit by place value: $13 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $10 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $218$ in base 10.

$\frac{218}{10} = 21 r e m a \in d e r 8$

$\frac{21}{10} = 2 r e m a \in d e r 1$

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

$8 \to 1 \to 2 = 218$

$218 (b a s e 10) = {(218)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $218$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $218$ .
