Decimal Number System

Decimal number system is the most commonly used number system. It is a base 10 number system. It uses 10 digits from 0 to 9. The position of each digit in a decimal number denotes the power of 10. The rightmost digit is the ones place, the next digit to the left is the tens place, the next digit to the left is the hundreds place, and so on.

An example of a decimal number is
1234₁₀ = 1×10³ + 2×10² + 3×10¹ + 4×10⁰

Hexadecimal Number System

Example 1: Convert 4D2₁₆ to (?)₁₀

Step 1: Write down the hexadecimal number: 4D2₁₆

Step 2-3:

Hex	Number × 16 ^ i	Output
4	4 × 16²	1024
D	13 × 16¹	208
2	2 × 16⁰	2
1024 + 208 + 2 = 1234
The decimal Representation of (4D2)₁₆ is (1234)₁₀

Example 2: Convert AB12C₁₆ to (?)₁₀
