Answer: WE are multiplying in base 6

24 x 2 = 52 can only be in base 6

because 2¹ 4 2 x 4 = 8/6 = 1 rem 2.

x 2₆ 2 x 2 + 1= 5

5 2

From the above , we can see theta 24 x 2 = 52 can only be in base 6.

Because only 2 x 4 = 12 can be possible in base 6.

Counting in base 6 gives us that after 5, the next number is 10. Just like counting in the common base 10, which after 9 we get 1 0

in Base 10--- 1, 2,3, 4,5, 6,7,8,9,10

in Base 6--- 1, 2, 3,4,5,10,11,12, 13,14 and so o
