The purpose of converting bases of numbers is to change the representation of a number from one base to another. This can make it easier to perform calculations or understand the value of a number in a different base system.
The most common base systems used in mathematics are base 10 (decimal), base 2 (binary), base 8 (octal), and base 16 (hexadecimal).
To convert a number from one base to another, you can use the repeated division method or the shortcut method. In the repeated division method, you divide the number by the new base and record the remainder. Then, you divide the quotient by the new base and continue this process until the quotient is 0. The converted number is the remainders in reverse order. In the shortcut method, you can use the powers of the new base to determine the value of each digit in the new base.
Yes, you can convert a decimal number to a binary number using the repeated division method or the shortcut method. In the shortcut method, you can divide the decimal number by 2 and record the remainder. Then, you divide the quotient by 2 and continue this process until the quotient is 0. The binary number is the remainders in reverse order. For example, to convert 13 (base 10) to binary, you would divide 13 by 2 to get a quotient of 6 and a remainder of 1. Then, you divide 6 by 2 to get a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 0. Continuing this process, you get 1101 (base 2) as the binary representation of 13 (base 10).
Converting to binary is important in computer science because computers use binary as their base system to represent and process data. By converting numbers to binary, computers can perform calculations and store information in a way that is more efficient and easier for them to process.
