Hexadecimal To Decimal Converter

The document discusses different number systems including hexadecimal, decimal, and provides examples of converting between hexadecimal and decimal numbers. It explains that hexadecimal uses base 16 with digits 0-9 and A-F to represent numbers, while decimal uses base 10 with digits 0-9. Examples are given of converting hexadecimal numbers like 1D9 and 80E1 to their decimal equivalents 473 and 32993. A chart is also included that lists the hexadecimal digits and their corresponding decimal values.

7DE is a hex number

7DE = (7 * 162) + (13 * 161) + (14 * 160)


7DE = (7 * 256) + (13 * 16) + (14 * 1)
7DE = 1792 + 208 + 14
7DE = 2014 (in decimal number)

Hex System
Hex, or hexadecimal, is a number system of base 16. This number system is
especially interesting because in our casually used decimal system we have only
10 digits to represent numbers. As hex system has 16 digits, the extra needed 6
digits are represented by the first 6 letters of English alphabet. Hence, hex digits
are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 A, B, C, D, E, F. This number system is the most
commonly used in mathematics and information technologies. I.e. in html
programming colors can be represented by a 6-digit hexadecimal number: FFFFFF
represents white, 000000 represents black, and so on.
Decimal System
The decimal numeral system is the most commonly used and the standard
system in daily life. It uses the number 10 as its base (radix). Therefore, it has 10
symbols: The numbers from 0 to 9; namely 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
As one of the oldest known numeral systems, the decimal numeral system has
been used by many ancient civilizations. The difficulty of representing very large
numbers in the decimal system was overcome by the Hindu–Arabic numeral
system. The Hindu-Arabic numeral system gives positions to the digits in a
number and this method works by using powers of the base 10; digits are raised
to the nth power, in accordance with their position.
For instance, take the number 2345.67 in the decimal system:
 The digit 5 is in the position of ones (100, which equals 1),
 4 is in the position of tens (101)
 3 is in the position of hundreds (102)
 2 is in the position of thousands (103)
 Meanwhile, the digit 6 after the decimal point is in the tenths (1/10, which is 10-
1
) and 7 is in the hundredths (1/100, which is 10-2) position
 Thus, the number 2345.67 can also be represented as follows: (2 * 103) + (3 *
102) + (4 * 101) + (6 * 10-1) + (7 * 10-2)

Hex to decimal conversion examples


 (1D9)16 = (473)10
 (80E1)16 = (32993)10
 (10CE)16 = (4302)10
