Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are performing arithmetic operations in different bases. . The base of the numbers is specified in the subscript.
3. We need to perform the operations and provide the answers in the same base as the input numbers.

STEP 2

First, let's solve the multiplication operation in base five. We have 31five five 31_{\text {five }} \cdot_{\text {five }}.

STEP 3

To perform this operation, we first convert the numbers to base ten, perform the multiplication, and then convert the result back to base five.

STEP 4

Convert 31five 31_{\text {five }} and 3five 3_{\text {five }} to base ten.
31five =31+10=15+1=16ten 31_{\text {five }} =3 \cdot^1 +1 \cdot^0 =15 +1 =16_{\text {ten }}3five =3ten 3_{\text {five }} =3_{\text {ten }}

STEP 5

Perform the multiplication in base ten.
16ten 3ten =48ten 16_{\text {ten }} \cdot3_{\text {ten }} =48_{\text {ten }}

STEP 6

Convert the result back to base five.48ten =153+451+350=143five 48_{\text {ten }} =1 \cdot5^3 +4 \cdot5^1 +3 \cdot5^0 =143_{\text {five }}So, 31five 3five =143five 31_{\text {five }} \cdot3_{\text {five }} =143_{\text {five }}.

STEP 7

Next, let's solve the division operation in base five. We have 31five ÷3five 31_{\text {five }} \div3_{\text {five }}.

STEP 8

To perform this operation, we first convert the numbers to base ten, perform the division, and then convert the result back to base five.

STEP 9

Convert 31five 31_{\text {five }} and 3five 3_{\text {five }} to base ten.
We already converted these numbers in previous steps. So, 31five =16ten 31_{\text {five }} =16_{\text {ten }} and 3five =3ten 3_{\text {five }} =3_{\text {ten }}.

STEP 10

Perform the division in base ten.
16ten ÷3ten =5ten  remainder ten 16_{\text {ten }} \div3_{\text {ten }} =5_{\text {ten }} \text{ remainder }_{\text {ten }}

STEP 11

Convert the quotient and remainder back to base five.
5ten =5=10five 5_{\text {ten }} = \cdot5^ =10_{\text {five }}ten =five _{\text {ten }} =_{\text {five }}So, 31five ÷3five =10five 31_{\text {five }} \div3_{\text {five }} =10_{\text {five }} remainder five _{\text {five }}.
