Solution - Base conversion

3, 579

3,579

Step-by-step explanation

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

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

${(D F B)}_{16} = 13 \cdot 16^{2} + 15 \cdot 16^{1} + 11 \cdot 16^{0}$

$13 \cdot 16^{2} + 15 \cdot 16^{1} + 11 \cdot 16^{0} = 3579$

Expand each digit by place value: $13 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $15 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $11 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $3, 579$ in base 10.

$\frac{3579}{10} = 357 r e m a \in d e r 9$

$\frac{357}{10} = 35 r e m a \in d e r 7$

$\frac{35}{10} = 3 r e m a \in d e r 5$

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

$9 \to 7 \to 5 \to 3 = 3579$

$3579 (b a s e 10) = {(3579)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $3, 579$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $3, 579$ .
