Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Convert the base 5 number to base 10.

    The number 241 in base 5 can be written in base 10 as:
    (2 × 5²) + (4 × 5¹) + (1 × 5⁰)
    = (2 × 25) + (4 × 5) + (1 × 1)
    = 50 + 20 + 1
    = 71₁₀

  2. Convert the base 10 number to base 8.

    To convert 71₁₀ to base 8, we use division with remainder:
    71 ÷ 8 = 8 remainder 7
    8 ÷ 8 = 1 remainder 0
    1 ÷ 8 = 0 remainder 1

  3. Read the remainders from bottom to top.

    The remainders are 1, 0, and 7.

    Therefore, 241 in base 5 is 107 in base 8.
