Can several if and else if statements are written in one line? C#

In this method, I tried to convert decimal numbers to any base. This method works well.
I have used two nested if statements. There are 7 modes in the internal statement.
My teacher asked me to write all these if statements in one line.
Is there a way?
I know about the ?: statement but I have to use just one of these statements.

private string Converting(int a, int b)
{
    string result = string.Empty;
    int remaining;

    // start while loop statement
    while (a > 0)
    {
        remaining = a % b; 

        // start if else statement to validate value of b
        if (b >= 11 && b <= 16)
        {           
            if (remaining == 10)
            {
                result += 'A';
            }
            else if (remaining == 11)
            {
                result += 'B';
            }
            else if (remaining == 12)
            {
                result += 'C';
            }
            else if (remaining == 13)
            {
                result += 'D';
            }
            else if (remaining == 14)
            {
                result += 'E';
            }
            else if (remaining == 15)
            {
                result += 'F';
            }
            else
            {
                result += remaining;
            } 
        }
        else
        {
            result += remaining;
        } 

        a /= b;
    } 

    return new string(result.ToCharArray().Reverse().ToArray());
}

You could convert the remaining to a char:

if (remaining >= 10)
{
    result += (char)('A' + remaining - 10);
}
else
{
    result += remaining;
}

In a single line:

result += remaining >= 10 ? (char)('A' + remaining - 10) : remaining;

Or extract from a string:

result += "0123456789ABCDEF"[remaining]
