Question

how would you write the base 10 number 488 in base 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

(3423)₅

Explanation:

We can apply the following operations

488 / 5 = 97     Rest of the division = 3

97 / 5 = 19        Rest of the division = 2

19 / 5 = 3          Rest of the division = 4

3 / 5 = 0           Rest of the division = 3

Finally we have

(3423)₅ = (488)₁₀
