Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are working with base5 and base6 numbers. . The operations to be performed are multiplication and division.
3. The numbers are already given in the appropriate bases.

STEP 2

We start with the first operation 31five five 31_{\text {five }} \cdot_{\text {five }}.

STEP 3

Convert the base5 numbers to base10 to make the multiplication easier.
31five =351+150=15+1=16ten 31_{\text {five }} =3 \cdot5^1 +1 \cdot5^0 =15 +1 =16_{\text {ten }}3five =350=3ten 3_{\text {five }} =3 \cdot5^0 =3_{\text {ten }}

STEP 4

Multiply the base10 numbers.
16ten 3ten =48ten 16_{\text {ten }} \cdot3_{\text {ten }} =48_{\text {ten }}

STEP 5

Convert the result back to base5.
48ten =153+451+350=143five 48_{\text {ten }} =1 \cdot5^3 +4 \cdot5^1 +3 \cdot5^0 =143_{\text {five }}

STEP 6

Now, we move on to the second operation 31five ÷3five 31_{\text {five }} \div3_{\text {five }}.

STEP 7

We already converted 31five 31_{\text {five }} and 3five 3_{\text {five }} to base10 in the previous steps.

STEP 8

Divide the base10 numbers.
16ten ÷3ten =5ten  remainder 1ten 16_{\text {ten }} \div3_{\text {ten }} =5_{\text {ten }} \text { remainder }1_{\text {ten }}

STEP 9

Convert the quotient and remainder back to base5.
5ten =5five =5_{\text {ten }} = \cdot5^ =_{\text {five }}ten =5five =_{\text {ten }} = \cdot5^ =_{\text {five }}

STEP 10

Next, we perform the third operation 32six 23six 32_{\text {six }} \cdot23_{\text {six }}.

STEP 11

Convert the base6 numbers to base10.
32six =36+60=18+=20ten 32_{\text {six }} =3 \cdot6^ + \cdot6^0 =18 + =20_{\text {ten }}23six =6+360=+3=15ten 23_{\text {six }} = \cdot6^ +3 \cdot6^0 = +3 =15_{\text {ten }}

STEP 12

Multiply the base10 numbers.
20ten 15ten =300ten 20_{\text {ten }} \cdot15_{\text {ten }} =300_{\text {ten }}

STEP 13

Convert the result back to base6.
300ten =63+262+260=1220six 300_{\text {ten }} = \cdot6^3 +2 \cdot6^2 +2 \cdot6^0 =1220_{\text {six }}

STEP 14

Finally, we perform the fourth operation 124five ÷3five 124_{\text {five }} \div3_{\text {five }}.

STEP 15

Convert the base5 numbers to base10.
124five =52+25+450=25+10+4=39ten 124_{\text {five }} = \cdot5^2 +2 \cdot5^ +4 \cdot5^0 =25 +10 +4 =39_{\text {ten }}3five =350=3ten 3_{\text {five }} =3 \cdot5^0 =3_{\text {ten }}

STEP 16

Divide the base10 numbers.
39ten ÷3ten =13ten  remainder 0ten 39_{\text {ten }} \div3_{\text {ten }} =13_{\text {ten }} \text { remainder }0_{\text {ten }}

STEP 17

Convert the quotient and remainder back to base5.
13ten =25+350=23five 13_{\text {ten }} =2 \cdot5^ +3 \cdot5^0 =23_{\text {five }}0ten =0five 0_{\text {ten }} =0_{\text {five }}So, the solutions area. 31five 3five =143five 31_{\text {five }} \cdot3_{\text {five }}=143_{\text {five }} b. 31five ÷3five =10five  remainder five 31_{\text {five }} \div3_{\text {five }}=10_{\text {five }} \text { remainder }_{\text {five }} c. 32six 23six =1220six 32_{\text {six }} \cdot23_{\text {six }}=1220_{\text {six }} d. 124five ÷3five =23five  remainder 0five 124_{\text {five }} \div3_{\text {five }}=23_{\text {five }} \text { remainder }0_{\text {five }}
