Example 8. Express each numeral as an expansion
of its base or with multibase pieces.
(a) 1345 (b) 32110
(c) 11012 (d) 6138
Answers: (a) 1345 = 1(52) + 3(51) + 4(50) = 1(25) + 3(5) + 4(1)
(b) 32110 = 3(102) +2(101) + 1(100) = 3(100) + 2(10) + 1 (1)
(c) 11012 = 1(23) +1(22) + 0(21) + 1(20) = 1(8) + 1(4) +0(2) +1
(d) 6138 = 6(82) +1(81) + 3(80)
Example 9. Write the first 20 base 3 terms
Answers: 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, 22, 100, 101, 102, 110, 111, 112, 120, 121, 122, 200, 201, 202, 210
Example 10. Convert the following to base ten:
(a) 1348 (b) 230324 (c) 1101102
Answers: (a) 1348 = 1(82) + 3(81) + 4(80) = 1(64) + 3(8) + 4(1) = 68
(b) 230324 = 2(44) + 3(43) + 0(42) + 3(4) + 2 = 512+192+12+2 = 718
(c) 1101102 =1(25) + 1(24) + 0 + 1(22) + 1(2) + 0 = 32+16+4+ 2 = 54
