I would suggest to consider making the return value a string instead of a number, to make a stronger distinction between a value and a representation. For example, the number seven in binary is written as
111, but its numeric value (i.e. what numeric types are meant to represent) is 7 and not 111. I think that using strings to model a representation would carry the idea better, and additionally would prevent from overflow in languages which have no native support for big integers.Fair enough. I'll implement this change ASAP. Thanks.
2337both from126 (2 * 3 * 3 * 7)or851 (23 * 37).I'm confused about your issue on random tests, please elaborate
Fair enough, what do I call it?

Do I necessarily HAVE to add random test cases? Also how do I implement them? (provide a link to an example if you can, please)
I this solution correct? https://www.codewars.com/kata/reviews/679627981960f816858b7d35/groups/6796327f52609bc2c403934a

I think that naming the thing represented here a "number system" (instead of "number base system") would be okay. Number systems can be irregular in many ways, for example roman numerals, or factoradic system. Not many of them end up in ambiguous representations, true. But I think that if you squint your eyes hard enough, the "numeric system", without "base", would still fit.
