I've explained it here in case of the decimal-to-binary conversion.
But it works similarly if 2 and 10 are swapped.

Here are some programs for the general case n-to-10 or 10-to-n:

• (11C) Base Conversion
• (12C) Base Conversion
• number base conversion for hp17b/17bii

Good catch. Thank you for the notification.
I have adjusted the listing accordingly.

The TI-57 was the first calculator I wrote programs for.
A colleague at school kindly loaned it to me for a while.
But in the end I got an HP-41CV and I have no regrets.
