How do you convert a decimal number to the hexa... - SS3 ICT Overview Of Number Bases II Question

To convert a decimal number to hexadecimal, follow these steps:

 

Divide the decimal number by 16.

Write down the remainder (in hexadecimal form if it's 10 or greater, use A for 10, B for 11, and so on).

Continue dividing the quotient by 16 and writing down remainders until the quotient becomes zero.

Read the remainders from bottom to top to get the hexadecimal representation.

For example, to convert 255 (decimal) to hexadecimal:

255 ÷ 16 = 15 remainder 15 (which is F in hexadecimal)

Quotient becomes 15 ÷ 16 = 0 remainder 15 (F)

So, the hexadecimal representation of 255 is FF.
