Title: Conversion of another base to another base.


Objectives:

At the end of this lesson, you will be able to solve conversion of another base to another base.


What you should know:

To fully understand this lesson, you should be familiar with,

  • Conversion of other bases to base 10.
  • Conversion of base 10 to other bases.


Introduction:

Conversion of another base to another base involves the application of converting other bases to base 10 and converting base 10 to other bases.


Presentation / Steps:

Given, convert 11012 to base 5.


Step 1: convert 11012 to base 10.

=> Using the steps in our previous lesson - conversion of other bases to base 10.

=> The number base value = 2.

=> Ranking, 13 12 01 10, rank values 3, 2, 1, 0 .

=> digit x (number base value)rank value ...

=> 1x23 + 1x22 + 0x21 + 1x20

=> 1x(2x2x2) + 1x(2x2) + 0x2 + 1x1.

=> 1x8 + 1x4 + 0x2 + 1.

=> 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 = 13.

Step 2 : Convert 1310 to base 5.

=> Using the step in our previous lesson - conversion of base 10 to other bases.

=> The other base value = 5.

=> 13 ÷ 5 = Q 2 R 3.

=> 2 ÷ 5 = Q 0 R 2.

=> The remainders from bottom to top = 23.

Therefore, 11012 to base 5 = 235
