What is 293 in base 6?

Answer 1

Assuming you want to convert 29310 to base 6:

293 ÷ 6 = 48 r 5

48 ÷ 6 = 8 r 0

8 ÷ 6 = 1 r 2

1 ÷ 6 = 0 r 1

⇒ 29310 = 12056

In base six, instead of a 1's place, then 10's place, then 100,s place, there is a 60 place, 61 place, 62 place, and so on. The first few places are 1's place, 6's place, 36's place, 216's place and 1296's place.

(In base 6, the highest digit than can be used is 5.)
