DAM, i wrote a program that could convert any based number to any base, but i cant think of any of the code right now. If you wait, i cant get you it. Its in Java, though.
to change base, take a number, like 123 base 10, convert it to base 5:
for(n=0;;n++)
x=5^n
if(x>123)
end loop
else
keeplooping
subtract x from 123 as long as the number is above 0 123-25-25-25-25=23 R:4
store the number of times it loops, with a for loop
take the remainder of the previous subraction, 23 and subtract x^n-1 23-5-5-5-5=3 R:4
store that number 3
and repeat til the number is smaller than the base, so the answer would be 4 4 3
