I spent most of the day figuring out how to convert the decimal number to binary (base 2), to hexadecimal (base 16) and back to decimal (base 10). As if that was not a big enough pain, now I have to represent the decimal number 10 in base 3. The book does not cover base 3, neither does the web site that the book sends me too. I know that base 3 uses the numbers 0,1,2 but I don't know how to work thru a base three problem.
I need to learn how to represent the decimal number 10 in base 3. If you don't want to give me the answer to this particular problem, you can use a different number, such as 20 and show me how to represent it in base 3. It's for a Power Point Presentation for my computers class and this is the last assignment I need to be done with the dumb chapter on coding and binary numbers, great at computers, awful at Math!
