Excel: writing a number in a different base

Posted on Posted in Excel No Comments Tagged with

Self-tutoring about Excel: the tutor mentions its base() function.

Let’s imagine needing to write a number in a different base; for example, needing to write 1005 in base 7.

Excel has a function for that: =base(1005, 7). Apparently the answer is 2634: 1005=2*7^3 + 6*7^2 + 3*7 + 4.
