Explanation:

Conversion to Base 10

The general steps for converting a base 10 or "normal" number into another base are: First, divide the number by the base to get the remainder. This remainder is the first, ie least significant, digit of the new number in the other base. Then repeat the process by dividing

Conversion from Base 10 to any base

The general steps for converting a base 10 or "normal" number into another base are:

First, divide the number by the base to get the remainder. This remainder is the first, ie least significant, digit of the new number in the other base

Then repeat the process by dividing the quotient of step 1, by the new base. This time, the remainder is the second digit, ie the second least significant.

Repeat this process until your quotient becomes less than the base. This quotient is the last digit, ie the most significant digit.

Conversion between bases other than base 10

First, we convert to base 10 then we convert from base 10 to the base we intend to convert to

Now, we proceed to questions

a. 101010 in base 2.

Conversion to base 10

101010 = 1 * 2^5 + 0 * 2⁴ + 1 *2³ + 0 * 2² + 1 * 2¹ + 0 * 2°

101010 = 1 * 32 + 0 + 1 *8 + 0 + 1 * 2 + 0

101010 = 32 + 8 + 2

101010 base 2 = 42 base 10

Conversion to base 16

First, we convert to base 10 42 (Calculated)

Then we convert to base 16

42/16 = 2 Remainder 10

2/16 = 0 Remainder 2

We start writing the number from bottom

2(10) .

10 in hexadecimal is represented by letter A

So, we have 2A

101010 in base 2 = 2A in base 16.
