Convert 283 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 >= 283
160 = 1
161 = 16
162 = 256
163 = 4096 <--- Stop: This is greater than 283
Since 4096 is greater than 283, 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 283 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 <= 283, 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 283 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 <= 283, 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 283 is 11
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 11 * 1 = 11
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
272 + 11 = 283
Hexadecimal (10 - 15) are represented by an (A-F) where 11 translates to the letter B
This = 283, so we assign our outside coefficient of B for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 283
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 11B
Final Answer
We are done. 283 converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation equals 11B16.Related Calculators: Bit Shifting | RGB and HEX conversions | Stoichiometry Conversion
