To convert the base 10 number 18 to base 16, we can divide the number by 16 and look for the quotient and the remainder.

  1. Divide 18 by 16:
    • Quotient = 1
    • Remainder = 2

So, when we divide 18 by 16, we get a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 2.

In base 16, the number is represented as follows:

  • The quotient (1) represents 1×16^1
  • The remainder (2) represents 2×16^0

Putting this together, the base 16 representation of the base 10 number 18 is 12.

Therefore, the base 10 number 18 is equal to 12 in base 16.
