your solution) (2 pts each).

1. 412 to base 6:

To convert 412 to base 6, you can repeatedly divide by 6 and write down the remainders.

412 ÷ 6 = 68 remainder 4

68 ÷ 6 = 11 remainder 2

11 ÷ 6 = 1 remainder 5

1 ÷ 6 = 0 remainder 1

Reading the remainders in reverse order gives the base 6 representation: 1254.

2. 374 to base 9:

To convert 374 to base 9, follow the same procedure:

374 ÷ 9 = 41 remainder 5

41 ÷ 9 = 4 remainder 5

4 ÷ 9 = 0 remainder 4

Reading the remainders in reverse order gives the base 9 representation: 455.

3. 1432 to base 5:

1432 ÷ 5 = 286 remainder 2

286 ÷ 5 = 57 remainder 1

57 ÷ 5 = 11 remainder 2

11 ÷ 5 = 2 remainder 1

2 ÷ 5 = 0 remainder 2

Reading the remainders in reverse order gives the base 5 representation: 21122.
4. 472 to base 4:

472 ÷ 4 = 118 remainder 0

118 ÷ 4 = 29 remainder 2

29 ÷ 4 = 7 remainder 1

7 ÷ 4 = 1 remainder 3

1 ÷ 4 = 0 remainder 1

Reading the remainders in reverse order gives the base 4 representation: 13220.

5. 342 to base 3:

342 ÷ 3 = 114 remainder 0

114 ÷ 3 = 38 remainder 0

38 ÷ 3 = 12 remainder 2

12 ÷ 3 = 4 remainder 0

4 ÷ 3 = 1 remainder 1

1 ÷ 3 = 0 remainder 1

Reading the remainders in reverse order gives the base 3 representation: 110200.

6. 14 to base 2:

To convert 14 to base 2, you can repeatedly divide by 2 and write down the remainders.

14 ÷ 2 = 7 remainder 0

7 ÷ 2 = 3 remainder 1

3 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 1

1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1

Reading the remainders in reverse order gives the base 2 representation: 1110.
II. Convert from base 2 to base 16:

1. 1010 1011 1100 0101two:

Group the binary digits in sets of 4 from right to left: 1010 1011 1100 0101.

Convert each group to its hexadecimal equivalent:

1010 (A), 1011 (B), 1100 (C), 0101 (5).

The base 16 representation is A B C 5.

2. 1101 1110 1010 1111 two:

Group the binary digits in sets of 4: 1101 1110 1010 1111.

Convert each group to hexadecimal:

1101 (D), 1110 (E), 1010 (A), 1111 (F).

The base 16 representation is D E A F.

3. 1011 1110 1110 1111 two:

Group the binary digits: 1011 1110 1110 1111.

Convert each group to hexadecimal:

1011 (B), 1110 (E), 1110 (E), 1111 (F).

The base 16 representation is B E E F.
