What is the answer when 24346 is divided by 426?

A.

236

B.

356

C.

526

D.

556

Correct answer is B

Hint: Two methods can be used;

1. Direct division (if you know division in number bases)

2. Convert both sides to base 10, divide and convert your answer back to base 6. Your answer should be 356

24346 to base 10

2 × 63 + 4 × 62 + 3 × 61 + 4 × 60

× 216 + 4 × 36 + 3 × 6 + 4 × 1

432 + 144 + 18 + 4 = 598

And: 426 to base 10

× 61 + 2 × 60

× 6 + 2 × 1

24 + 2 = 26

Then divide 598 by 26 

= 23

Then convert 2310 to base 6
