~Maths and Logic Fundamentals (Hexadecimal to Decimal and vice versa)~

Following on from learning Binary conversions, I learnt Hexadecimal conversions.

Hexadecimal numerals are widely used by computer system designers and programmers, as they provide a more human-friendly representation of Binary-coded value.

Hexadecimal has a number base of 16, Decimal has a base number of 10.

1 Hexadecimal unit is equal to 4 Binary units, following this logic we can translate 0000 0000 1111 1111 (Binary) into 00 FF (Hexadecimals).

Decimal to Hexadecimal:

1. Take any Decimal number and divide it by 16.

2. Continue to divide the result by 16 until you reach 0.

3. Every time you divide and there is a reminder, multiply this remainder by 16 and note the result. A remainder of 0, results in 0.

4. Once you've hit 0, go back over the numbers you've written down, and change numbers 10 - 15 to A - F respectively.

Hexadecimal to Decimal:

1. Take any Binary digits and consider how each digit is expressed as a power of 2.

2. Identify which digits have a 1.

3. Add up the power of 2 values.

My Birthday in Hexadecimal = 23/05/2002 = 17/05/7D2

My name in Hexadecimal = Archie = 1 12 3 8 9 5
