+180 What is the smallest whole number b such that 62 can be expressed in base b using only three digits?
Not only I am asking for the answer to this problem, can you guys please tell me how to convert out of base 10? (I don't know how to)
+129852 Converting out of base 10
Using the base that Alan found 62 base 10 to Base 4
62 / 4 = 15 + Remainder 2
15 / 4 = 3 + Remainder 3
3 / 4 = 0 + Remainder 3
We stop when the division produces a whole number of 0
Read the remainders "backwards" from bottom to top =
3324
+180 So that would mean 356 in base 10 to base 8 is
356 / 8 = 44 + remainder 4
44 / 8 = 5 + remainder 4
4 / 8 = 0 + remainder 4
So 356 converted is 444?
