My thought process for converting from decimal to binary is quite elementary: I simply count up in binary to whatever number I am trying to obtain. For larger numbers, I have relatively big binary numbers and their decimal values memorized to speed up the process. I use the same system of counting for converting from binary numbers to decimal numbers.
I might be able to use this approach to convert between other base systems by memorizing certain values within the system to speed up the process of counting up numbers. Simply counting up by itself is inefficient, thus memorizing larger values will help me to convert values faster.
This is a good approach.
