How to convert base two to base three​

Mathematics

Consider this example: say we want to convert <em>x</em> = 11 0101 1001₂ to base 3.

The binary expansion of <em>x</em> is

<em>x</em> = 1×2⁹ + 1×2⁸ + 1×2⁶ + 1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2⁰

which in base 10 reduces to

<em>x</em> = 512 + 256 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 1 = 857

Recall the first several powers of 3:

3⁰ = 1; 3¹ = 3; 3² = 9; 3³ = 27; 3⁴ = 81; 3⁵ = 243; 3⁶ = 729

Now it's a matter of computing quotients and remainders. Pick the largest power of 3 that fits into the target number, then check the remainder and repeat.

• How many times does the 729 go into 857? 1 time, and it leaves a remainder of 128, or

857 = 1×729 + 128 = 1×3⁶ + 128

• How many times does 81 go into 128? Also 1 time, so

128 = 1×81 + 47 = 1×3⁴ + 47

• How many times does 27 go into 47? Also 1 time,

47 = 1×27 + 20 = 1×3³ + 20

• How many times does 9 go into 20? 2 times,

20 = 18 + 2 = 2×9 + 2 = 2×3² + 2

• How many times does 1 go into 2? Also 2 times,

2 = 2 + 1 = 2×1 + 0 = 2×3⁰

So we found

857 = 1×3⁶ + 1×3⁴ + 1×3³ + 2×3² + 2×3⁰

which is the ternary expansion of <em>x</em>,

<em>x</em> = 1 011 202₃

When is g(x) = 0 for the function g(x) = 5.2 3x + 4?
kicyunya [14]
G(x) = 0 can never happen.

When x is 0, the answer is 4
When x is 1, the answer is 19.6
When x is 4, the answer is 66.4

According to Wolfram Alpha though, x is equal to -(10/39). If that's not a choice for you, don't worry about it. :)
