For problem #1:

Why not do the operation in base 10 and convert the result to base 6?


JM

Yeah, that can be done but we're not supposed to do that here.

That would work for both problems.

But don't forget to convert to base 10 first, then perform your operations, then convert back to base six.

Another approach on problem 1 would be to write out the multiplication table in base 6.

1x1=1, 1x2=2, etc.
2x1=1, 2x2=4, 2x3=10, 2x4=12, 2x5=14
3x1=1, 3x2=10, 3x3=13, 3x4=20, 3x5=23
etc.

Thanks all!
