* @function intToBase

* @description Convert a number from decimal system to another (till decimal)

* @param {Number} number Number to be converted

* @param {Number} base Base of new number system

* @returns {String} Converted Number

* @see [HornerMethod](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner%27s_method)

* @example

* const num1 = 125 // Needs to be converted to the binary number system

* gornerScheme(num, 2); // ===> 1111101

* @example

* const num2 = 125 // Needs to be converted to the octal number system

* gornerScheme(num, 8); // ===> 175
