find n if 142n= 47 base 10

1 answer

To find the value of n, we can set up the following equation:

142n = 47

To isolate n, we can divide both sides of the equation by 142:

142n/142 = 47/142

Simplifying, we get:

n = 47/142

To find the decimal value of this fraction, divide 47 by 142 using a calculator or a long division method:

n ≈ 0.3309859

Therefore, if 142n = 47 in base 10, then n is approximately 0.3309859.
