Convert 63 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 >= 63
160 = 1
161 = 16
162 = 256 <--- Stop: This is greater than 63
Since 256 is greater than 63, 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 63 is 3
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 3 * 16 = 48
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 48 = 48
This is <= 63, so we assign our outside coefficient of 3 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 48
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 3
160 = 1
The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 63 is 15
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 15 * 1 = 15
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
48 + 15 = 63
Hexadecimal (10 - 15) are represented by an (A-F) where 15 translates to the letter F
This = 63, so we assign our outside coefficient of F for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 63
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 3F
Final Answer
We are done. 63 converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation equals 3F16.Take the Quiz
