Convert a number from any base to any other base:

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.

Convert 248 into base 10.  

4 x 80 = 4  
2 x 81 = 16

4 + 16 = 20

248 = 2010



And then convert that answer into base 2.

2010 = 101002

Answer:  248 = 101002
