/*
* Print a base10 number in base32
*
* Using a multiple of bits, arithmetic is done very fast
* since cpus talk bits, we can use bit operations which are faster
*+ than regular (base10) operations
*
* also, in base 2^k you can see the splitting on bits
* with k the amount of bits used to represent the character
* =>
* b2: "1100001010100101"
* b10: "49829"
* ==
* b2 per 4 bits: "1100 0010 1010 0101"
* b10: "12 2 10 5"
* b16: "C 2 A 5"
* ==
* b2 per 5 bits: "(0000)1 10000 10101 00101"
* b10: "1 16 21 5"
* b32: "1 G L 5"
