Question

241 tio
in base five

Answer 1

`1431_(5)`

Explanation:

Divide the base ten number by 5 into a quotient and remainder, noting the remainder. Repeat this process with quotient as number, until the number is zero.

241 = 5 × 48 → remainder 1

48 = 5 × 9 → remainder 3

9 = 5 × 1 → remainder 4

1 = 5 × 0 → remainder 1 ↑ read remainders up the way

Finish here since number is zero

The remainders in reverse order give the value of 241 in base 5, that is

`241_(10)` =
`1431_(5)`
