Question

Convert 185 to base three

Answer 1

20212

Explanation:

Divide 185 by
`3^4` as
`3^4` is closest to 185

After dividing we get remainder 23 and quotient 2

Divide the remainder 23 by
`3^3` we get remainder 23 and quotient 0

Divide the remainder 23 by
`3^2` we get remainder 5 and quotient 2

Divide the remainder 5 by
`3^1` we get remainder 2 and quotient 1

Divide the remainder 2 by
`3^0` we get remainder 0 and quotient 2

Taking all the quotient values we get 20212

Hence, 185₁₀=20212₃
