Please Tell me the way of doing it. BIT VLE Example is bit Unclear and Stuff in the Internet is Same also.

And i like if you Guys can help me Quickly because I need to Complete All these Topics and do All the Assignments before 11th of February.

I did Decimal to Binary when i did my O/L but now I can't remember them because of the non-using for Long Time. :)

Hi Friends I finally Found Out

Here is the Site I used for it

http://www.tutorvista.com/math/base-10-to-base-3

But I can't understand the last 2 parts,

1/3 - 0

and

0/3 - 1

Why as that?

Please Tell me about those? I understand the Rest.

First of all be familiar with Q = Quotient, R = Reminder. Q is the full number we get after division whereas R is the remainder after division.

1 / 3 -> Q = 0, R = 1

So in a base conversion, we write it as,

1 / 3 = 0 (Q)
1 (R)

In base 3 conversion, if the Q is larger than 2, then we need to re-divide it until we get a number less than or equals 2.
Finally we have to write all Qs and Rs as in the following example of converting 29 to base 3.
