Could somebody help me write a method that converts a non negative integer (base 10) into base 5? For example, calling the method and sending 5 would return 10. Much appreciated.Converting numbers to base 5 recursively in Java?
I will give you an example of converting a decimal number into an octal form. You can easily apply the same technique to any base.
Here's how to convert 12345 to octal base.
12345 = 8 * 1543 + 1
1543 = 8 * 192 + 7
192 = 8 * 3 + 0
24 = 8 * 3 + 0
3 = 8 * 0 + 3
The octal expansion of 12345 is equal to 30071
Such algorithm is easily solved with recursion. All you have to do is convert it into a code.
