Hexadecimal and decimal system

The decimal system (also known as the base 10 system) is the standard system for denoting integers and integers (decimals). This is an extension to the integers of the Hindu-Arabic number system.

How to transfer base 16 to base 10

Hex (hexadecimal) is the base system 16 and the decimal system is the base number 10. Sometimes, we need to know the equivalent value in the decimal of a hexadecimal number.

Here are the steps to convert from base 16 to base 10:

• Take the equivalent decimal number of hexadecimal digits from the table.
• Multiply each digit by the power of 16 (the exponent is equivalent to the position of the digit, the rightmost digit is equivalent to position 0). For example, in 7DE, position E is 0, position D is 1 and position 7 is 2.
• Calculate the sum of all multiplications.

Here's an example:

7DE is a hexadecimal number

• 7DE = (7 * 16²) + (13 * 16¹) + (14 * 16⁰)
• 7DE = (7 * 256) + (13 * 16) + (14 * 1)
• 7DE = 1792 + 208 + 14

7DE = 2014 (in decimal)

Example of moving from base 16 to base 10:

• (1D9)₁₆= (473)₁₀
• (80E1)₁₆= (32993)₁₀
• (10CE)₁₆= (4302)₁₀
