In every base you use to move to the next larger place you must multiply the previous number by the base. Henceforth, base 2 is written as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32… Base 3 is written as 1, 3, 9, 27… Base 4 is written as 1, 4, 16… Base 5 is written as 1, 5, 25… Base 6 is written as 1, 6, 36… Base 7 is written as 1, 7, 49… Base 8 is written as 1, 8, 64… Base 9 is written as 1, 9, 81… And base 10 (our ever-reliable decimal system) goes 1, 10, 100... Here is an example at how you can create a single number in the different bases:
 * Number || Base || What it looks like ||
 * 45 || 10 (Decimal System) || 45 ||
 * 45 || 2 || 101101 2 ||
 * 45 || 3 || 1200 3 ||
 * 45 || 4 || 171 4 ||
 * 45 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">5 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">140 5 ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">45 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">6 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">113 6 ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">45 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">7 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">63 7 ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">45 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">8 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">45 8 ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">45 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">9 || <span style="font-family: 'Gill Sans MT','sans-serif'; font-size: 17px;">50 9 ||

But how does it work, you might ask? Here’s how: Base 2: 1x32 + 0x16 + 1x8 + 1x4 + 0x2 + 1x1 = 45 Base 3: 1x27 + 1x9 + 0x3 + 0x1 = 45 Base 4: 1x16 + 7x4 + 1x1 = 45 Base 5: 1x25 + 4x5 + 0x1 = 45 Base 6: 1x36 + 1x6 + 1x3 = 45 Base 7: 6x7 + 3x1 = 45 Base 8: 4x8 + 5x1 = 45 Base 9: 5x9 + 0x1 = 45 <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Numbers in bases are always written largest number first.
