Understanding Decimal to Hexadecimal Conversion

Decimal (base-10) is the number system we commonly use, which represents numbers using digits from 0 to 9. Hexadecimal (base-16), on the other hand, uses digits from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F to represent numbers. Each hexadecimal digit represents four bits, making it a compact way to represent binary data.

Example

For example, the decimal number 255 when converted to hexadecimal is FF. This is because:

  • 255 in decimal is 256 - 1
  • In hexadecimal, 256 is represented as 100 (1 * 16^2 + 0 * 16^1 + 0 * 16^0)
  • So, 255 in hexadecimal is F (15) * 16^0 + F (15) * 16^1 = FF
