Question

Convert the numeral to a numeral in the base indicated.

16,629 to base 13

Answer 1

What are the first few powers of 13?

Answer 2

decimal no.=16, 629
base 13,so the no. will have digits from 0 to 12

Answer 3

you are french right?
13^x = 16.629
x = log(16.629)/log(13)
x= 1.09599

\[13^{1.096} = 16.629\]

Answer 4

i don' know

Answer 5

trust me my answer is right

Answer 6

went to MIT

Answer 7

Yes, but the key to converting to bases is a division and remainder problem.
\[13^0 = 1;\ 13^1 = 13;\ 13^2 = 169;\ 13^3 = 2197;\ 13^4 = 28,561\]

Answer 8

ok thanks

Answer 9

@zscdragon is trolling you.

Answer 10

16,629 is not greater than or equal to 13^4 so we won't be needing that one. How many times can 13^3 go into 16,629?

Answer 11

we have to continuously divide the no. by 13 to get the number in base 13

1279
______________________
13|16629
16627
remainder =2
this is the first digit
now divide 1279 by 13
we get 98 as quotient and 5 as remainder so it is the second digit
Do you get till here?

Answer 12

@85295james ??

Answer 13

o

Answer 14

huh?

Answer 15

@85295james write my stuff it's the correct one ;)

Answer 16

Like I said, @zscdragon is a troll. @ash2326 's method is correct, even if it is confusing. The solution will be a four digit number in base 13. Let's call it ABCD where:
\[A*13^3+B*13^2+C*13^1+D*13^0 = 16,629\]

Answer 17

@zscdragon what's 8 in base 8?

Answer 18

16629 / 13 = 1279
1279 * 13 = 16627
that means the las digit is 16629 - 16627 = 2

Answer 19

16629 in base 13 is 7752

Answer 20

relax people, he's french, i know what he meant it's not the same mathematical vocabulary ;)

Answer 21

that was a log problem

Answer 22

how do i List all the subsets of {1}.

Answer 23

@85295james have you understood what i messaged you?

Answer 24

i think

Answer 25

be clear.

Answer 26

o yes i got it

Answer 27

thanks

Answer 28

but how do i List all the subsets of {1}.

Answer 29

is it 7752..?
