Solution - Base conversion

3, 789

3,789

Step-by-step explanation

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

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

${(E C D)}_{16} = 14 \cdot 16^{2} + 12 \cdot 16^{1} + 13 \cdot 16^{0}$

$14 \cdot 16^{2} + 12 \cdot 16^{1} + 13 \cdot 16^{0} = 3789$

Expand each digit by place value: $14 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $12 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $13 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $3, 789$ in base 10.

$\frac{3789}{10} = 378 r e m a \in d e r 9$

$\frac{378}{10} = 37 r e m a \in d e r 8$

$\frac{37}{10} = 3 r e m a \in d e r 7$

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

$9 \to 8 \to 7 \to 3 = 3789$

$3789 (b a s e 10) = {(3789)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $3, 789$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $3, 789$ .
