The hexadecimal system (base-16) is used to represent values in a compact format, particularly in programming and computer science. It uses digits 0–9 and letters A–F. Converting decimal (base-10) to hexadecimal simplifies large numbers for easier readability and usage in low-level computing.
Conversion Method
Steps to Convert
- Divide the decimal number by 16 and record the remainder.
- Use the remainder to find the corresponding hexadecimal digit (0-9 for values 0-9, A-F for values 10-15).
- Divide the quotient by 16 and repeat until the quotient is 0.
- Write the remainders in reverse order to form the hexadecimal value.
Example
Convert 74510 (decimal) to hexadecimal:
- 745 ÷ 16 = 46 remainder 9.
- 46 ÷ 16 = 2 remainder 14 (14 corresponds to E in hexadecimal).
- 2 ÷ 16 = 0 remainder 2.
- Write the remainders in reverse order: 2E916
Result: 74510 = 2E916
