Understanding Hexadecimal and Decimal Number Systems
Hello friends! Today I want to explain about hexadecimal and decimal numbers. Many people find this confusing, but I will try to make it simple.
We use decimal numbers every day. Decimal is base 10. It uses digits from 0 to 9. This is the system we learn as children.
Hexadecimal is different. It is base 16. It uses digits from 0 to 9 and letters A to F. So after 9 comes A, then B, up to F which equals 15. This system is very useful in computing and programming.
Why use hexadecimal? Computers work in binary (1s and 0s), but binary numbers are very long. Hexadecimal is shorter and easier to read. One hex digit represents four binary digits. This makes it compact.
You might need a hex to decimal converter online when working with color codes in web design. Colors in HTML and CSS often use hex values. For example, white is #FFFFFF and black is #000000.
Sometimes you need more than just a hexadecimal converter. You might need to convert between multiple systems. A binary to hex to decimal converter can handle all these conversions.
What if you're working in Excel? You can use formulas for hex to decimal converter in excel. The HEX2DEC function converts hex to decimal, and DEC2HEX converts decimal to hex.
I have created other conversion tools you might find useful. For text conversions, check out my Hex to Text Converter and Text to Binary Converter. If you work with character encoding, try the ASCII to Text Converter.
For fun projects, I made a Text to Emoji Converter and a Text to Speech Converter. These are popular with my visitors.
