\n" ); document.write( "In general, to convert a number n in base 10 to another base b, repeatedly divide n by b and pick off the remainders, until the number left is 0.
\n" ); document.write( "To convert 26 base 10 to base 2...
\n" ); document.write( "26/2=13 remainder 0
\n" ); document.write( "13/2 = 6 remainder 1
\n" ); document.write( "6/2 = 3 remainder 0
\n" ); document.write( "3/2 = 1 remainder 1

\n" ); document.write( "Those remainders, written in reverse order, are the digits of the converted number in base 2.

\n" ); document.write( "417/5 = 83 remainder 2
