Decimal to Hexadecimal Converter
Transform decimal numbers into hexadecimal (base-16) format instantly. Great for software development, memory address calculations, and system-level programming.
The Decimal to Hexadecimal Converter is a tool that allows you to convert decimal numbers (base-10) to hexadecimal numbers (base-16). Decimal numbers use ten digits (0-9), while hexadecimal numbers use sixteen digits (0-9 and A-F).
This conversion is commonly used in computer science and programming, especially when working with memory addresses, color codes, and other low-level operations where hexadecimal representation is more compact and convenient.
How the conversion works:
To convert decimal to hexadecimal:
- Divide the decimal number by 16.
- Get the integer quotient for the next iteration.
- Get the remainder for the hexadecimal digit.
- Repeat the steps until the quotient becomes 0.
- The hexadecimal digits are read from bottom to top.
Example:
Decimal: 173 173 ÷ 16 = 10 remainder 13 (D) 10 ÷ 16 = 0 remainder 10 (A) Reading from bottom to top: AD
Decimal to Hexadecimal conversion table (for remainders):
0 = 0 4 = 4 8 = 8 12 = C 1 = 1 5 = 5 9 = 9 13 = D 2 = 2 6 = 6 10 = A 14 = E 3 = 3 7 = 7 11 = B 15 = F
This converter also supports the reverse operation, allowing you to convert hexadecimal numbers back to decimal.
