5
I understand the integer part, keep dividing by 5 and I get 112, but for the fraction part I need a help.
The number is:
$$ (32.\bar 5)_{10} = (112, ??)_{5} $$ $$ 0,5 * 5 = 2,5\\ 0,5 * 5 = 2,5\\ 0,5 * 5 = 2,5\\ 0,5 * 5 = 2,5\\ $$ It's correct? $$ (32.\bar 5)_{10} = (112,\bar2)_{5} ? $$
Thanks.

Yes, this seems sensible. Recurring decimals (or quinaries?) are not a feature of the base. Compare this number in ternary, which is 1012.12 exactly. Can you convert to nonary (base 9)?
See e.g.
