How do you convert binary decimal values into hexadecimal value? - Answers

"Binary decimal" is a contradiction in terms. Decimal has a base of 10, binary a base of 2 and hexadecimal a base of 16.The way I would do it is:If you have a value in binary then convert this to a decimal value. Then convert it to hexadecimal remembering that the number will now be comprised by the following (where x represents the digit):The first digit (from right to left) will equal x * 160, the next will equal x * 161 and so forth...An example:So in binary 11111 = (1 * 20) + (1 * 21) + (1 * 22) + (1 * 23) + (1 * 24) = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 = 31 (in decimal).To write this in hexadecimal, 31 would be (15 * 160) + (1 * 161) = 1FNote: A tip - If you are using a Windows operating system, then if you go to the Start menu and choose search/run and type in "calc" or "calculator" then you will get a virtual calculator to use. If you choose "programmer" from the View menu and then choose the "Bin" button and type in a binary value and then choose the "Hex" button then the binary value will be converted to hexadecimal. (The above certainly applies for Windows 7).
