Mr Calcu | Decimal to Hexadecimal Number Converter

The decimal and hexadecimal number systems are widely used in computing and electronics. While the decimal system (base-10) is familiar to most people, the hexadecimal system (base-16) is extensively used in digital applications, including color coding, memory addressing, and data representation.

How Decimal to Hex Conversion Works

A hexadecimal number consists of sixteen unique symbols: 0-9 and A-F, where A=10, B=11, ..., F=15. To convert a decimal number to hex:

• Divide the decimal number by 16.
• Write down the remainder.
• Repeat the process with the quotient until it becomes zero.
• The hexadecimal result is obtained by reading the remainders in reverse order.

Example Conversion

Convert 255 to hexadecimal:

• 255 ÷ 16 = 15 remainder 15 → F
• 15 ÷ 16 = 0 remainder 15 → F
• Hexadecimal equivalent of 255 is FF.
