Question

(a) Write the next whole number after 555 in the base-six system.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) $1000_6$

b) $242_5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The next whole number in any base number system is derived by adding the integer 1 to the previous whole number.

a) Therefore, the next whole number after $555_6$ is gotten by the addition of $1_6$

$555_6 + 1_6 = 1000_6$

b) The next whole number after 241 in the base-five-system is gotten by adding $1_5$ to $241_5$

$241_5 + 1_5 = 242_5$
