What is the remainder when the base 4 number 120301232_4 is divided by 8? Express your answer in base 10.

 

The _4 means base 4 :D

According to Wolfram Alpha, \(\frac{120301232_4}{8}\) is equal to \(\frac{50743}{4}\) in base 10, which means that the remainder is 6. Does that help?

2 +

3 x 4 +

2 x 4^2

1 x 4^3

0 x 4^4

3 x 4^5

0 x 4^6

2 x 4^7

1 x 4^8                           = 101486       divide by 8    remainder is 6
