Question

1 Convert the following decimal numbers into quinary numbers: (a) 12 (b) 15 (c) 18 (d) 20​

Answer 1

Answer:

Follow these steps to convert a decimal number into quinary form:

Divide the decimal number by 5.

Get the integer quotient for the next iteration (if the number will not divide equally by 5, then round down the result to the nearest whole number).

Keep a note of the remainder, it should be between 0 and 4.
