What is 41 base six multiplied by 23 base six and show work?
41 to base 6 = (4x6)+(1) = 24+1 = 25 in decimal
23 to base 6 = (2x6)+(3) = 12+3 = 15 in decimal
Multiply 25x15 = 375 in decimal
Now convert 375 to base 6 as follows
1) Divide 375 by 6, Quotient = 62, Remainder 3 = 3
2) Divide 62 by 6, Quotient = 10, Remainder = 2
3) Divide 10 by 6, Quotient = 1, Remainder = 4
Hence the product in base six is 1423
Verification:
1423 in base 6 =
[1x6-raised to 3]+[4x6-raised to 2]+[2x6]+[3] =
1x216+4x36+2x6+3 = 216+144+12+3 = 375
