↓Steps Explained:↓

Convert 293 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 >= 293

160 = 1

161 = 16

162 = 256

163 = 4096 <--- Stop: This is greater than 293

Since 4096 is greater than 293, 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 293 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 <= 293, 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 293 is 2

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 2 * 16 = 32

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
256 + 32 = 288

This is <= 293, so we assign our outside coefficient of 2 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 288

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 12


160 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 293 is 5

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 5 * 1 = 5

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
288 + 5 = 293

This = 293, so we assign our outside coefficient of 5 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 293

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 125


Final Answer

We are done. 293 converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation equals 12516.
