Ok, in base 10 we have placeholders for ones, tens, hundreds etc. In base 7 we have placeholders but they are ones, sevens, forty-nines, etc.
There are 2 forty-nines in 143 so a 2 goes in the forty-nine placeholder. You have a remainder of 45.
There are 6 sevens in 45. So 6 goes in the sevens place. There is a remander of 3. The 3 goes in the ones spot.
So the answer is 263 (base 7)

143 in base 10 is written in units , tens and hundreds.
to express it in base 7, you have to write the number in units, sevens, forty nines and .....(with luck, we won't have to work this out = 7^3)
You start with a long division
49 into 143 goes twice remainder45
write the 2 in the forty nines column and divide 7 into 45
7 into 45 goes 6 times remainder 3
write the 6 in the sevens column and the 3 in the units column.
143 in base 10 = 263 in base 7

143 = (2 x 49)+ (6x 7)+3
this is 2 x 7^2 + 6 x 7^1 + 3
or 263

Just start the series of counting over when you get to 6; instead of writing '7', write '10.' 14 in base 10 = 20 in base 7.
Hope this helps~

143 in base 10 (1 x100 + 4x10 + 3x1) = 263 (2x49 + 6x7 + 3x1)
Note: Your phrasing makes it hard to tell if 143 is in base 10 or base 7; try to phrase it so we know where we're starting:
what is the "base 7 number for 143" in base 10?
what is the base 7 number for "143 in base 10"?

Here's how it's done:
Divide 143 by 7 repeatedly. Put down the
remainder each time. Stop when you get a
quotient less than 7.We get
...............143
..............20 3
.............2 6 3
Since the last quotient is less than 7, we can stop.
The answer is 263.

143 base 7 = 1*7^2 + 4*7 + 3 = 80
Checked at the site below...
Drat...got it backwards...move on...nothing to see here.
