Hexidecimal Page
A hexidecimal is a number, or is the number system that has a base of 16. In this system, all numbers above 9, correlate to a letter in the alphabet, for example 10 is A, and F is 15. We use hexidecimal for things like colors and other things like debugging and storing memory and information to a computer. It is important becasue it is the number system in the middle of binary and denary, which menas its more advanced than binary code, but easier to translate compared to denary. This system is important because it is compact, so it takes up less space in a computer, so that we can fit more code into it.
Hexadecimal to Decimal
The way to convert hexidecimal numbers to deciaml numbers is easy. First, because the base of the hexadecimal numbers sytem is 16, you take each of the letters or digitd in the hex number, and you multiply it by 16 and its corresponding power. Then, you add all the multiplied numbers together.
Deciaml to Hexadecimal
To convert Decimal numbers to Hexadecimal is by using division. Like the division used to convert decimal to binary, we use that type of division, but instead of 2, we use 16. After, you take the numbers in the remainer and every number above 9 gets converted to their associatedd letter. Then you take all the numbers from bottom to top including the letters.
