Divide n by 5 and round the result up to an integer. Keep repeating the division and rounding step until the resulting number is less than 5. How many divisions are performed? You can use a calculator for this problem, but you should not have to actually perform all of the divisions. (b) Suppose that you have a calculator that performs the log function but you do not know the base of the log. How can you use your calculator to solve the two problems above?

Explanation / Answer

B) For a number n = 54527 if we divide the number by 5 and to round to an integer until the number is less than 5 . The total number of divisions performed are 6. To obtain a number less than 5 the number should be divided 6 times

C) If you don't know the base of a calculator in order to calculate the above two problems using calculator you have to use the normal division approach to identify the number of times the number is divided in order to get number than 5 .
