These popped up in my math book and even my mom (a math whiz)didn't understand it. I get it's places and stuff but I'm not comprehending how to turn numbers, ex. 37, into the the bases. <em><strong>Professor Homunculus sez:</strong></em> I'm not sure what you mean by "these." You don't have to turn any numbers into any bases. Each one is usually in a base already. Like the number "37" is already in base ten (we automatically can assume a number is in base ten, unless it is labeled otherwise). You can then turn (if you want to, or if someone requires you to) that number into any other base you want. Have you read all the parts to the "Bases" posts at The Math Mojo Chronicles? They are : <ul> <a href="http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/06/30/bases-1/" rel="nofollow">http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/06/30/bases-1/</a> <a href="http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/07/03/bases-2/" rel="nofollow">http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/07/03/bases-2/</a> <a href="http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/08/10/bases-3/" rel="nofollow">http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/08/10/bases-3/</a> <a href="http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/08/11/bases4/" rel="nofollow">http://mathmojo.com/chronicles/2008/08/11/bases4/</a></ul> I think if you read all the posts in order, you will get it. If not, write me and tell me specifically what you don't get, and I'll try to explain that part better. All the best, <em>Brian (a.k.a. Professor Homunculus)</em> Huh?

Professor Homunculus sez:

I’m not sure what you mean by “these.” You don’t have to turn any numbers into any bases. Each one is usually in a base already. Like the number “37″ is already in base ten (we automatically can assume a number is in base ten, unless it is labeled otherwise).

You can then turn (if you want to, or if someone requires you to) that number into any other base you want.

I am sorry that some cannot understand it, it is no fault of yours. You are a great communicator and you are breaking it down to an easy level. I have no recollection of hearing the word base in public school or college. I only learned what it was through homeschooling my children. You did a great job explaining bases.

37(base10) = 100101(base2)
