Convert 6 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 >= 6

160 = 1

161 = 16 <--- Stop: This is greater than 6

Since 16 is greater than 6, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 0

Build hexadecimal notation

Work backwards from a power of 0

We start with a total sum of 0:


160 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 6 is 6

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 6 * 1 = 6

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 6 = 6

This = 6, so we assign our outside coefficient of 6 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 6

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 6


Final Answer

We are done. 6 converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation equals 616.
