When converting from any number base to any
other number base,
and neither of the bases is base 10,
you must go via (through) base 10.
Example: Convert 248 into base 2.
First, convert 248 into
base 10.
4 x 80 = 4
2 x 81 = 16
4 + 16 = 20 |
248 = 2010
|
Second, convert that answer
into base 2.
2010 = 101002
|
Answer: 248 = 101002 |
