Solution - Base conversion

3, 835

3,835

Step-by-step explanation

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

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

${(E F B)}_{16} = 14 \cdot 16^{2} + 15 \cdot 16^{1} + 11 \cdot 16^{0}$

$14 \cdot 16^{2} + 15 \cdot 16^{1} + 11 \cdot 16^{0} = 3835$

Expand each digit by place value: $14 \cdot 16^{2}$
+ $15 \cdot 16^{1}$
+ $11 \cdot 16^{0}$ . This gives $3, 835$ in base 10.

$\frac{3835}{10} = 383 r e m a \in d e r 5$

$\frac{383}{10} = 38 r e m a \in d e r 3$

$\frac{38}{10} = 3 r e m a \in d e r 8$

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

$5 \to 3 \to 8 \to 3 = 3835$

$3835 (b a s e 10) = {(3835)}_{10}$

Repeatedly divide $3, 835$ by $10$ , collect remainders, and read them in reverse to get $3, 835$ .
