Explanation / Answer

Conversion among bases:

To convert a whole number from decimal to base x:

Just repeatedly divide the number with x and store the result in a stack.

Update the quotient as the new number and repeat till the quotient becomes 0.

Finally Considering all the digits in LastInFirstOut order will generate the whole number equivalent to the base x.

To convert a fractional number from decimal to base x:

Just repeatedly multiply the fractional part with x, and add the integral part of the result to the right of the decimal.

Update the fractional part of the result as the new fractional value and repeat till the required number of decimal values or till the fraction becomes 0.

a. 103.810 = ?3.

Therefore the integral part is 10211

Fractional part:

.8 * 3 = 2.4     (Result: 10211.2*****)

.4 * 3 = 1.2     (Result: 10211.21****)

.2 * 3 = 0.6     (Result: 10211.210***)

.6 * 3 = 1.8     (Result: 10211.2101**)

.8 * 3 = 2.4     (Result: 10211.21012)

Therefore 103.810 = 10211.210123.

Therefore the integral part is 124

Fractional part:

.8 * 9 = 7.2 (Result: 124.7)

.2 * 9 = 1.8 (Result: 124.71)

.8 * 9 = 7.2 (Result: 124.717171)

Therefore 103.810 = 124.7171719.
