I tend to convert to base 10 and then convert the result to the new base
375.54 base 8 = (3*64)+(7*8)+(5*1)+(5*(1/8))+(4*(1/64))
192+56+5+5/8+4/64
253+44/64
253+11/16
253.6875 base 10
now let's think about base 3
its all in powers of 3
(3^5)=243
(3^4)=81
(3^3)=27
(3^2)=9
(3^1)=3
(3^0)=1
with that we can determine what 253 base 10 equals in base 3
(1*243)+(0*81)+(0*27)+(1*9)+(0*3)+(1*1)
100101 base 3=253 base 10
how about .6875 at the end you ask?
(3^(-1))=1/3=0.3333..
(3^(-2))=1/9=0.1111..
(3^(-3))=1/27=0.0366..
(3^(-4))=1/81=0.0123 approx
(2*0.3333)+(0*0.1111)+(0*0.0366)+((2*0.0123)
0.6875 base 10 approximately - 0.2002 base 3
put the two pieces together
100101.2002 base 3 approximately equals 375.54 base eight
