Convert 243 to Base 3 using Digit 5

[gEOdude]

Guys Can you help me out, i don't know if I've done this right.

Question:
243 is a decimal number. You must convert it to base n, where n will be computed using the
digit (d) 5.
For example if your digit (d) was "7" , then n is
calculated as: n = d % 6 +2(where d=7)=7%6 + 2 = 3My Working:

n = d % 6 + 2 (where d=5) = 5%6 + 2 = 3
243 to the base of 3 = {100000}_{3}

n = d % 6 + 2 (where d=5) = 5%6 + 2 = 3

Sometimes, e.g., in the C programming language, % denotes taking the remainder.
