Problems from Conversion from decimal base into another system of numeration

Convert the following numbers into ternary system.

(17)10

(89)10

(121)10

(3D)18

See development and solution

Development:

We have to do all the possible integer divisions of the numbers by 3:

(17)1017|325|321

So that:

(17)10=(122)3

In the second case:

(89)1089|3229|329|303|301

Then,

(89)10=(10022)3

In the third number of the exercise:

(121)10121|3140|3113|314|311

The equivalent is:

(121)10=(11111)3

Finally, in the last exercise it is necessary to combine the decomposition with the divisions, since the number is not in base 10 but in base 18.

First, into decimal:

(3D)18=(3(13))18=3181+13180=54+13=67

Now, to find the equivalent of 67 in ternary, it is necessary to divide the above mentioned number successively by 3:

(67)1067|3122|317|312

So

(3D)18=(2111)3

Solution:

(122)3

(10022)3

(11111)3

(2111)3
