A particular number is written as 132 in radix-4 representation. The same number in radix-5 representation is _________.

Correct Answer:

110

Solution:

Here's how you can approach the problem:

  • The number given in radix-4 is 132.
  • Convert this number to decimal:
    = (
  • Now, convert the decimal number 30 to radix-5.

To convert the decimal number to radix-5, we divide the decimal number by 5 repeatedly, keeping track of the remainder. The remainders, read in reverse order, give the equivalent number in radix-5.

  • 30 ÷ 5 = 6, remainder 0
  • 6 ÷ 5 = 1, remainder 1
  • remainder 1

So, the radix-5 representation is 110.
