11. Converting (187)10 to base 8 yields which of the following results?

  1. 205
  2. 135
  3. 273
  4. 372
  5. 531

3 is CORRECT. (187)10 = (273)8, by dividing 187 by 8 three times and recording the remainders: 187/8 = 23 with r = 3; 23/8 = 2 with r = 7; 2/8 = 0 with r = 2. Stop here because 0 was reached. Read the r numbers backwards to get 273.
