Base Conversion
Author
Say i want to convert bases, hex to dec or somthing like that. is there a way to easily convert the digits, or get the number of a certain digit?
Fast Answer: Divide and Modulus by the the Base.
Example: Base 10 to Base 3, the number 748.
(% refers to the Modulus, or Remainder of a number after division)
748 % 3 = 1
748 / 3 = 249
249 % 3 = 0
249 / 3 = 83
83 % 3 = 2
83 / 3 = 27
27 % 3 = 0
27 / 3 = 9
9 % 3 = 0
9 / 3 = 3
3 % 3 = 0
3 / 3 = 1
1 % 3 = 1
1 / 3 = 0
748 in Base 10 is 1000201 in Base 3.
This is just the iterative method, but it works.
