End Sub


Function base$(n, b)
  v$ = ""
  n2 = n
  Do
    d = n2 Mod b
    n2 = n2 \ b
    v$ = Mid("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", d + 1, 1) + v$
  Loop Until n2 = 0
  base$ = v$
End Function


finds


decimal 475 = octal 733 = duodecimal 337

decimal 1337 = duodecimal 935 = hexadecimal 539
