- Is there any formula to calculate the base?
I think this formula is not the correct one.
Please explain. How this be the answer? - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- first find the base of 431*32
by using n=N^x+N^x-1
5=N^5+N^4
5=N^4(N-1)
5=N-1
N=6
so the question is in base 6 system.. so convert 15356 into base 6 to decimal
15356=(1*6^4 + 5*6^3 + 3*6^2 + 5*6^1 + 6*6^0)
= 1296 + 1080 + 108 + 30 +6
= 2520 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
