Really? Click to expand... If that's true, you should not have been assigned this problem . . . There are basically two ways: . . [1] Learn to add in base-5. . . [2] Convert to base-10, add, then convert back to base-5. Either way, it looks like this: . . \(\displaystyle \begin{array}{cccccccc}1\;0\;3\;4_5 \\+ \;3\;4\;4_5\; \\ \hline 1\;4\;3\;3_5 \end{array}\quad\begin{array}{c}\Rightarrow \\ \Rightarrow \\ \\[-4mm] \Leftarrow \end{array}\quad\begin{array}{c}1\;\;4\;\;4 \\ +\;9\;\;9 \\ \hline 2\;\;4\;\;3 \end{array}\)
