Summary "For bignum libraries that use a binary representation, there are generally two types of conversions: - Radix -> Binary - Binary -> Radix Radix-to-Binary is needed for converting string input to internal representation. Binary-to-Radix converts internal representation to readable strings. Radix-to-Binary is faster and easier to implement. Since y-cruncher only outputs digits, it only has Binary-to-Radix conversion. Nevertheless, this article will cover both directions. This article is written assuming that the bignum arithmetic is done in binary. But the methods are not specific to binary and are generalizable to other bases"
