The hexadecimal system (base-16) uses digits 0–9 and letters A–F to represent values. The decimal system (base-10) uses digits 0–9 and is the standard system for numerical representation. Converting hexadecimal to decimal involves using the positional value of each hexadecimal digit and its corresponding base-10 value.
Conversion Method
Steps to Convert
- Write down the hexadecimal number and assign positional values starting from 0 on the right (least significant digit).
- Convert each hexadecimal digit to its decimal value (A = 10, B = 11, C = 12, D= 13, E = 14, F = 15).
- Multiply each value by 16position.
- Add all the results to obtain the decimal equivalent.
Example
Convert 2F316 (hexadecimal) to decimal:
Assign positions:
2 × 162
F×161
3×160
Compute:
2 × 162 = 2 × 256 = 512
15 × 161 = 15 × 16 = 240
3 × 160 = 3 × 1 = 3
Add: 512 + 240 + 3 = 755
Result: 2F316 = 75510
