For example, how to output the fraction 13/7 as a 'decimal' number in the base 6? Perhaps to 4 'digits' after the 'decimal' point if the representation is not finite.
You can use the str method:
sage: (13/7)
13/7
sage: (13/7).str(base=6)
'21/11'
sage: (13/7).n()
1.85714285714286
sage: (13/7).n().str(base=6)
'1.505050505050505050511'Thanks for the solution!
The following function converts integers in any base to any other base:
def base_conversion(number, base_from, base_to):
if(base_from==10):
return (number.str(base=base_to))
else:
decimal = Integer(str(number), base=base_from)
return (decimal.str(base=base_to))Asked: 12 years ago
