Find the one hundredth positive integer that can be written using no digits other than digits 0 and 1 in base 3. Express your answer as a base 10 integer.
Hey superman!
The goal is to count in base 3 using only binary digits.
The \(100^{\text{th}}\) smallest positive binary integer is \(100 = 1100100_2,\)
so the \(100^{\text{th}}\) smallest positive integer that can be written with only the binary digits is
\(1100100_3 = \boxed{981}\).
I hope this helped,
Gavin.
