Decimal to Hexadecimal
Decimal to Hexadecimal
To convert a decimal number to a hexadecimal number:
1. Divide the decimal number by 16. The remainder of this first division becomes the
least significant (rightmost) digit of the hexadecimal value. If the remainder
exceeds 9, convert the 2-digit remainder to its hexadecimal letter equivalent. Use
this table for conversion.
2. Divide the quotient from Step 1 by 16, and use the remainder of this next division
as the next digit (to the left) of the hexadecimal value (converting 2-digit
remainders as necessary). Continue to divide the quotients by 16 until the decimal
number is exhausted. The remainder from the last division is the most significant
(leftmost) digit of the hexadecimal value.
Example
Convert the decimal value 47632 to its hexadecimal equivalent. (In this example, the
symbol “/” indicates division.)
The result is:

2. 2977/16 = 186 1
3. 186/16 = 11 10 = A
4. 11/16 = 0 11 = B remainder = most significant (leftmost)
