Convert 1 from decimal to hexadecimal

(base 16) notation:

Power Test

Raise our base of 16 to a power

Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 1

16⁰ = 1 <--- Stop: This is equal to 1

Since 1 is equal to 1, we use our current power as our starting point which equals 0

Build hexadecimal notation

Work backwards from a power of 0

We start with a total sum of 0:

16⁰ = 1

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 1 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 1 = 1

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 1 = 1

This = 1, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 1

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 1
