You can put this solution on YOUR website! The base 12 number 973 in base 10 is equal to  .
Each digit, or whatever it is called in base 12 because digit is usually used to refer to base 10 (decimal) numbers, is equal to  where v is the value, or magnitude, of the number at the nth digit from the right and B is the base, or radix, of the number system.
For example, in base 10, or decimal numbers, the number 742 means:
=
=
Which is 742 in base 10.
Now for a more interesting example, base 2, or binary, numbers consist of only the characters 0 and 1, but numbers are formed in exactly the same way as any other numeric base. For example:
10110 in base 2 is equal to:
=
=22 in base 10.
So your base 12 number is constructed in the same way:
973 base 12
= 
= 1296+84+3
= 1383 in base 10.
