Question

Convert 6720 into base five system

Answer 1

Answer:

203340

Step-by-step explanation:

for the conversion of a base 10 value into a base 5 value we need to first give placements of base 5 which is done as shown in the picture

now we find the max number which can divide 6720 which will be the number 3125

the placement goes as follows

number or remainder (for next step)÷5 placements = next remainder

1) 6720/ 3125 = 470; quotient is 2

2) 470/625 = 0 (we put 0 here as 625 cannot divide 470 without obtaining a decimal value)

3) 470/125 = 95; quotient is 3

4) 95/25 = 20; quotient is 3

5) 20/ 5 = 0; quotient is 4

6)0/1 =0; quotient is 0

hence the conversion leads to 203340 as the answer

we keep dividing until all the placements are filled and we obtain the remainder zer0
