We have a number expressed in a base of 9, instead of the most common decimal base.

Then, is we have the number 82104 in 9-base, it means that we can expand it as:


82104_{\text{nine}}=8\cdot9^4+2\cdot9^3+1\cdot9^2+0\cdot9^1+4\cdot9^0

We then can expand this as:


82104_{\text{nine}}=8\cdot6561+2\cdot729+1\cdot81+0\cdot9^{}+4\cdot1

We can finally calculate what this number is in decimal form by finishing simplyfing the expression above:


\begin{gathered} 82104_{\text{nine}}=8\cdot6561+2\cdot729+1\cdot81+0\cdot9^{}+4\cdot1 \\ 82104_{\text{nine}}=52488+1458+81+4 \\ 82104_{\text{nine}}=54031 \end{gathered}

Answer:

If we decompose this number given the base 9, we get the following terms:


82104_{\text{nine}}=8\cdot9^4+2\cdot9^3+1\cdot9^2+0\cdot9^1+4\cdot9^0

The decimal form of 82104(nine) is 54031.
