Forward and reverse conversions of multi-valued logic numbers

A simple method for converting binary number to any other m-nary (m = 2
^k
, k is an integer > 1) number is outlined. Reverse conversion from the m-nary to the original binary number which is extremely simple is also outlined. Finally, forward and reverse conversions allow converting the numbers from radix r
^K
to radix r
^k
, K and k are integers. These conversions are also applicable to signed numbers. The method is illustrated with several examples. Architectures for converting binary number to quaternary number which can easily be extended to higher order radices is proposed. With the help of this architecture, the method is experimentally verified.
