Convert 267 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 >= 267

16⁰ = 1

16¹ = 16

16² = 256

16³ = 4096 <--- Stop: This is greater than 267

Since 4096 is greater than 267, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 2

Build hexadecimal notation

Work backwards from a power of 2

We start with a total sum of 0:

16² = 256

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 267 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 256 = 256

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 256 = 256

This is <= 267, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 256

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 1

16¹ = 16

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 267 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 16 = 16

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
256 + 16 = 272

This is > 267, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 256

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 10

16⁰ = 1

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 267 is 11

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 11 * 1 = 11

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
256 + 11 = 267

Hexadecimal (10 - 15) are represented by an (A-F) where 11 translates to the letter B

This = 267, so we assign our outside coefficient of B for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 267

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 10B
