CONVERSION OF A WHOLE HEXADECIMAL NUMBER TO A DECIMAL NUMBER
1. Multiply the left most character in e hexadecimal number by 16.
Example:
E = 14 X 16 = 224
2. Add to the product previously found the value of the next character.
Example: 224 + 0 = 224
3. Multiply the previously found product by 16.
Example: 224 X 16 = 3584
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 in a cyclical fashion until you have added the last
hexadecimal character. Do not multiply beyond that point.
EXAMPLE: Convert E04C into a decimal number.
1.)
E = 14; 14 X 16 = 224
2.) 224 + 0 = 224
3.) 224 X 16 = 3584
2.) 3584 + 4 = 3588
3.) 3588 X 16 = 57,408
4.) 57,408 + 12 = 57,420
E04C = 57,420
