Convert 274 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 >= 274

160 = 1

161 = 16

162 = 256

163 = 4096 <--- Stop: This is greater than 274

Since 4096 is greater than 274, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 2

Build hexadecimal notation

Work backwards from a power of 2

We start with a total sum of 0:


162 = 256

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 274 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 256 = 256

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 256 = 256

This is <= 274, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 256

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 1


161 = 16

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 274 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 16 = 16

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
256 + 16 = 272

This is <= 274, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 272

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 11


160 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 274 is 2

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 2 * 1 = 2

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
272 + 2 = 274

This = 274, so we assign our outside coefficient of 2 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 274

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 112


Final Answer


We are done. 274 converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation equals 11216.
