- Buttons840 10y agoYes, it is possible to convert from any numeric base to any other numeric base. Why is 2 so special? Is it more important for humans to be able to calculate quantities in their head, or to be able to convert to obscure computer formats?
- waynecochran 10y agoOf course you can convert between any two bases. It's trivial to convert between bases that are a power of two. I don't know of a trivial way to convert between base 12 and base 2. 2 is very special to computers -- that's the base they use.
