Divide 2115 by 12 in base seven

Convert to base 10, divide, convert back to base 7
2115 --> 2*7^3 + 7^2 + 7^1 + 5 = 747
12 --> 9
---
747/9 = 83
83 --> 49 + 4*7 + 6

--------------------
1423(base 5) = 1*5^3+4*5^2+2*5+3 = 125+100+10+3 = 238(base 10)
----
24(base 5) = 2*5+4 = 14(base 10)
----
238/24 = 9.92~ 10 = 20(base 5)
=========================
Note:: The answer is approximate unless you want to convert
into multiples of powers of 5^-1, 5^-2, etc.
