Answer:

3311

Explanation:

The steps are as follows

1. Divide 456 by 5. This gives a quotient of 91 with a remainder of 1. This remainder becomes the least significant digit of the new base number. This would be the right most digit. So the number is _ _ _ 1

2. Take the quotient, 91, divide by 5 again. This gives a quotient of 18 with a remainder of 1. Put this remainder to the immediate left of the previous value. So we have the number as _ _ 1 1

3. Take the previous quotient, 18, divide by 5 again. 18/5 gives quotient of 3 with a remainder of 3. Put this to the immediate left of the previous number giving the number as _ 3 1 1

4. Repeat the division of the new quotient by 5. 3/5 gives a quotient of 0 with remainder of 3 so we stop

Number = 3 3 1 1

Best done by writing a program or using a calculator
