convert int to other bases

[bowlofred]

Divide by the base. The remainder is your least-significant digit. The quotient is the rest of the problem. Repeat for more significant digits until the number is zero.

def int_to_other_base(num, base):
    ans = []
    while num > 0:
        num, remainder = divmod(num, base)
        ans.append(remainder)
    return ans[::-1]


print(int_to_other_base(3600,36))
print(int_to_other_base(8,2))

Output:
[2, 28, 0]
[1, 0, 0, 0]

36**2 = 1296. 2 times that is 2592. 36 * 28 is 1008. 1008 + 2592 is 3600. So in base 36, 3600 has digits of 2, 28, and 0.
