5422 base 6 minus 3351 base 6

Solution

5422 base 6 minus 3351 base 6

Soln: Starting from extreme right: 2 minus 1 gives 1.

Next moving left, we have 2 minus 5 which cannot be solved. So we will borrow from the next number to the left. The no. is 4. So when we borrow 1 it will become 3. And the 2 at right will become 2 + 6 = 8 as it is to the base 6. So we have 8 - 5 = 3.

Moving left we now have 3 minus 3 = 0.

At extreme left we have 5 minus 3 =2

Hence 5422 base 6 minus 3351 base 6 = 2031 base 6.
