Convert 7 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 >= 7
160 = 1
161 = 16 <--- Stop: This is greater than 7
Since 16 is greater than 7, we use 1 power less 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 7 is 7
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 7 * 1 = 7
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 7 = 7
This = 7, so we assign our outside coefficient of 7 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 7
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 7
Final Answer
We are done. 7 converted from decimal to hexadecimal notation equals 716.
