It's not even in base 13, though.
7 x 9 = 63 in base 10.
But 42 in base 13 is only 54 (4 x 13 + 2).
And 42 in base 14 is only 58 (4 x 14 + 2).
It's almost in base 15, which is 62 (4 x 15 + 2).
It's not actually possible to write 63 as 42 in an integer base. You can, however, do it in a noninteger base, and in fact, base 15.25 works (4 x 15.25 + 2 = 63!).
