Integers can be expressed uniquely in any base.<br />

Theorem: Let b,Z(b>1). Then if n,N, then there is a unique expression such<br />

that n = a k b k + a k-1 b k-1 +…+a 1 b+a 0 , where {a i },k,N 0 , a k -0, and 0;a i 1, is really easy. Just group k bits together and<br />

convert to the base 2 k symbol.<br />

• Base 10 to any base 2 k is a pain.<br />

• Base 2 k to base 10 is also a pain.<br />
