Base game

Evaluate the following in base 10 :

10 0 2 + 10 0 8 + 10 0 10 + 10 0 16 100_2+ 100_{8}+ 100_{10} + 100_{16}


The answer is 424.

10 0 2 + 10 0 8 + 10 0 10 + 10 0 16 100_2+100_8+100_{10}+100_{16}

= ( 2 2 × 1 ) + ( 8 2 × 1 ) + ( 1 0 2 × 1 ) + ( 1 6 2 × 1 ) =(\ 2^2\times 1\ )+(\ 8^2\times 1\ )+(\ 10^2\times 1\ )+(\ 16^2\times 1\ )

= 4 10 + 6 4 10 + 10 0 10 + 25 6 10 = 42 4 10 =\ 4_{10}+64_{10}+100_{10}+256_{10}\ =\ 424_{10}

I calculated the same way, but I didn't multiply by 1. 😉

100(base 2) is 100 in binary form = 4

100(base 8) is 100 in octal form = 64

100(base 10) is 100 in decimal form = 100

100(base 16) is 100 in hexadecimal form = 256

4 + 64 + 100 + 256 = 424

Since we are playing around with bases, you might wanna mention which base you want the answer to be in.

Exactly! Thats what I thought!

I appreciate your comment.

But I have already mentioned in the question that the desired value has to be in "base 10".

For any base x x , 10 0 x = x 10 2 100_x = x^2_{10} .

Then 2 2 + 8 2 + 1 0 2 + 1 6 2 = 424 2^2+8^2+10^2+16^2=424 .

100 2 ( x indicates base number) is in binary. So, decimal form of this number is : (1 * 2^2) + (0 * 2^1) + (0 * 2^0) = 4 + 0 +0 = 4

100_8 is in octal. So, decimal form of this number is: (1 * 8^2) + (0 * 8^1) + (0 * 8^0) = 64 + 0 + 0 = 64

100_10 is already in decimal. No conversion required here. So, the number is: = 100

100_16 is in hexadecimal. So, the decimal form of this number is: (1 * 16^2) + (0 * 16^1) + (0 * 16^0) = 256 + 0 + 0 = 256

Thus, the number is:

4 + 64 + 100 + 256 = 424

OR

1 2^2+1 8^2+1 10^2+1 16^2=424

AND

2²+8²+10²+16² = 4+64+100+256 = 424

10 0 2 + 10 0 8 + 10 0 10 + 10 0 16 = 2 2 + 8 2 + 1 0 2 + 1 6 2 = 4 + 64 + 100 + 256 = 424 100_2+100_8+100_{10}+100_{16}=2^2+8^2+10^2+16^2=4+64+100+256=\boxed{\large{424}}

2^2 + 8^2 + 10^2 + 16^2 = 4 + 64 + 100 + 256 = 424
