How To Convert Hexadecimal Numbers

HEXADECIMAL NUMBER
SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
Hexadecimal has a base of
16
Hexadecimals number are
unique because 10 to 15
are converted into letters A
to F
HEXADECIMAL TO DECIMAL
LONG METHOD
How did A2F
16
became
2607
10
?
First, translate the value of
each hexadecimal digit
into its decimal equivalent.
HEXADECIMAL TO DECIMAL CONVERSION
HDC
A is 10
2 is 2
F is 15
HDC Write down the translated
numbers at ease and multiply
each number by 16 since it is
the base of the hexadecimal
number system.
HDC
10*16 =
2*16 =
15*16 =
HDC
Next, from down to up,
write down an exponent
in the number 16 in each
computation starting from
0 to 15.
HDC
This exponent
represents the
decimal number
system.
HDC
10*16
2
=
2*16
1
=
15*16
0
=
HDC
Next, we will have to get
first the true value of the
number with exponent
in this case 16
n
HDC
10*256 =
2*16 =
15*16 =
HDC
Now we try to
compute for the
answer.
HDC
10*256 = 2560
2*16 = 32
15*16 = 15
HDC
You might be
wondering why the
answer in 15*16 is still
15, right?
HDC
Since 15*16 has an
exponent of 0 earlier,
HDC
there is a general rule
that whenever a
number (base) has an
exponent of 0,
HDC
you ignore the
computation
altogether
HDC
and sustain the
original number you
are suppose to
multiply.
HDC
So the number 15
remains.
HDC
Now we do addition:
HDC
2560
+ 32
15

2607
HDC
Lets not forget to
place base 10 to
complete our answer.

The answer is
2607

DHC
How did 2607
10
became A2F
16
?
DHC
First, divide 2607 by 16,
which represent the
base of hexadecimal.
DHC
2607 / 16 = 162
DHC
Then, multiply 162 by
16 to get the product.
DHC
162 * 16 = 2592
DHC
Now we will subtract
2607 with 2592.
DHC
2607 - 2592 = 15
DHC
15 now represents our
1st remainder.
DHC
Now moving on, lets
now divide 162 by 16.
DHC
162 / 16 = 10
DHC
Then, multiply 16 by 10
to get the next
product.
DHC
16 * 10 = 160
DHC
Now we will subtract
162 with 160.
DHC
162 - 160 = 2
DHC
2 now represents our
2nd remainder.
DHC
Now moving on, lets
now see if we can still
divide 10 by 16.
DHC
Now moving on, lets
now see if we can still
divide 10 by 16.
DHC
The answer is no.
DHC
Since 10 is to small for
16 to be divided, we
stop and consider 10
as our last remainder.
DHC
Lets now write all our
remainders together,
writing it down from
right to left, first to last.
DHC
10 2 15
DHC
Now do we consider
this our final answer for
our hexadecimal?
DHC
Now do we consider
this our final answer for
our hexadecimal?
DHC
The answer is no.
DHC
Theres a special rule
that all numbers greater
than 9 under hexa must
be converted to letters.
DHC
10 = A
11 = B
12 = C
DHC
13 = D
14 = E
15 = F
DHC
Seeing that we have to
numbers greater than 9,
we must now convert it
to its appropriate letters.

DHC
Combine all answer
and we will come up
with A2F.

Combine all answer

HBC
How did A2F
16
became
101000101111
2
?
HBC
First, translate the
value of each
hexadecimal digit into
its decimal equivalent.
HBC
A is 10
2 is 2
F is 15
HBC
Write down the
translated numbers
horizontally separating
each numbers by space.
HBC
10 2 15
HBC
Then, individually
convert each number to
its binary equivalent.
Refer to the binary table.
HBC
0 = 0000
1 = 0001
2 = 0010
HBC
3 = 0011
4 = 0100
5 = 0101
HBC
6 = 0110
7 = 0111
8 = 1000
HBC
9 = 1001
10 = 1010
11 = 1011
HBC
12 = 1100
13 = 1101
14 = 1110
15 = 1111
HBC
Before each
conversion, write
down the multiples of
2 below each number.
HBC
10 2 15
8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1
HBC
Apply the on and off tip I
gave last time and apply
the same concept to get
the binary equivalent.
HBC
Lets try one example.
HBC
10 2 15
8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1
1 0 1 0
HBC
Why did we plot the
number 1 under 8
and 2 below number
10?
HBC
The answer is simple.
HBC
Its because if we add
8 and 2, we will come
up with 10 as the
answer.
HBC
Why not write 1
below 4 and 1 instead
of 0?
HBC
Its because the
answer will exceed by
5 pts. if all values are
added.
HBC
Lets start converting.
HBC
10 2 15
1010 0010 1111
HBC
After converting each
number, combine each
answer and youll come
up with 101000101111.
HBC
Lets not forget to
place base 2 to
HBC
The answer is
101000101111

BINARY TO HEXADECIMAL CONVERSION
BHC
How did 10111110
2
became BE
16
?
BHC
First, from the binary
number 10111110, for
every 4 digits from right
to left , place a slash (/).
BHC
1011 / 1110
BHC
Now place the
number 1, 2, 4 and 8
from right to left on top
of each 4 digits group.
BHC
The following numbers
1, 2, 4, 8 written from
right to left (8 4 2 1)
BHC
sum up to the number
15, considering we
add all numbers
together.
BHC
15 is the closest
number to the
hexadecimal base 16.
BHC
15 is also the largest
number in our basic
binary table represented
in four 1s (1111
2
).
BHC
Now we proceed with
our instruction earlier.
BHC
8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1
1011 / 1110
BHC
Now based on the
number alignment, lets
use the rule earlier when
we are converting binary
to octal.
BHC
Since the binary
numbers are divided
by 4 digits each,
BHC
we translate each
binary number to its
corresponding
hexadecimal value.
BHC
8 4 2 1 8 4 2 1
Binary 1011 / 1110
Hexa 11 / 14
BHC
Since we are under
the hexadecimal
number system,
BHC
we follow the rule that
if the answer is greater
than 9 (10 15)
BHC
we substitute the
numbers from 10 to 15
with the letters A to F
respectively.
BHC
Then compress the
answer to make it
more simple.
BHC
And since the answer
is hexadecimal, we
place the base 16
beside the answer.
BHC
The answer is BE
16
