The easiest way to do this is to start with the power of 5 that is just under 219.

125 would be the closest power of 5

Now subtract 125 from 219 = 94

=====================

The highest power of 5 closest to 94 is 25. You have to multiply 25 * 3 to get a number close enough to 94 that leaves a remainder under 25

94 - 75 = 19

=======================

19 - 3 * 5 = 4 Same argument as above.

219_10 = 1334_5
