Answer 2

Atleast % will be very useful when converting number of base x to number of base y.

Example: Convert decimal (10th base) value of 598 to hexadecimal (16th base).
First we would take remainder:
598 % 16 = 6 | 6
Store it and subtract it from the decimal.
598 - 6 = 592
Next we would divide 592 by 16:
592 / 16 = 37
And get to use modulo again annd repeat same tasks until we get 0:
37 % 16 = 5 | 5
37 - 5 = 32
32 / 16 = 2
2 % 16 = 2 | 2
2 - 2 = 0

In the end we'd've got 256, which is the correct result.
