You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the sum of the four number is 1214 to base 5 what is the average expressed in base five
------
1214 = 1*5^3 + 2*5^2 + 1*5 + 4 = 184 decimal
184/4 = 46 decimal
= 25 + 4*5 + 1
--> 141 base 5
==================
It can be done in base 5 w/o converting to decimal, but there's no point.
Base 2, 8, 10 & 16 are commonly used.
Base 8, octal, is seldom used now. It was years ago for whatever reason.
Binary and Hex are used in programming, and decimal in other places.
