42 ÷ 2 = 21 remainder 0
21 ÷ 2 = 10 remainder 1
10 ÷ 2 = 5 remainder 0
5 ÷ 2 = 2 remainder 1
2 ÷ 2 = 1 remainder 0
1 ÷ 2 = 0 remainder 1
- Reading remainders from bottom to top: 1010101
Step 2: Convert the fractional part 0.375 to binary.
- Multiply 0.375 by 2: 0.375 × 2 = 0.75 → integer part 0
- Multiply 0.75 by 2: 0.75 × 2 = 1.5 → integer part 1
- Multiply 0.5 by 2: 0.5 × 2 = 1.0 → integer part 1
- Fractional binary digits: 011
Step 3: Combine integer and fractional parts:
$$85.375_{10} = 1010101.011_2$$
2. **Convert (132)₄ to base 6:**
Step 1: Convert (132)₄ to decimal.
- Digits: 1, 3, 2 (from left to right)
- Calculate value:
$$1 \times 4^2 + 3 \times 4^1 + 2 \times 4^0 = 1 \times 16 + 3 \times 4 + 2 \times 1 = 16 + 12 + 2 = 30$$
Step 2: Convert decimal 30 to base 6.
- Divide 30 by 6 repeatedly:
30 ÷ 6 = 5 remainder 0
5 ÷ 6 = 0 remainder 5
- Reading remainders from bottom to top: 50
Step 3: Final result:
$$(132)_4 = (50)_6$$
