Convert 212 from decimal to hexadecimal
(base 16) notation:
Power Test
Raise our base of 16 to a power
Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 212
160 = 1
161 = 16
162 = 256 <--- Stop: This is greater than 212
Since 256 is greater than 212, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 1
Build hexadecimal notation
Work backwards from a power of 1
We start with a total sum of 0:
161 = 16
The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 212 is 13
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 13 * 16 = 208
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 208 = 208
Hexadecimal (10 - 15) are represented by an (A-F) where 13 translates to the letter D
This is <= 212, so we assign our outside coefficient of D for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 208
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to D
160 = 1
The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 212 is 4
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 4 * 1 = 4
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
208 + 4 = 212
This = 212, so we assign our outside coefficient of 4 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 212
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to D4
Final Answer
We are done. 212 converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation equals D416.Take the Quiz Switch to Chat Mode
