Base-n Calculations
A recent AH Maths exam question on Base-n Calculations is.
Source: SQA AH Maths Paper 2012 Question 10
Worked Solution
1234 = ? × 7
Divide 1234 by 7 to give 176 remainder 2 and complete the division algorithm ..
1234 = 176 × 7 + 2
176 = 25 × 7 + 1
25 = 3 × 7 + 4
Answer is 1234 in base 10 is 3412 in base 7
