Overview
The Base Converter converts between binary (base 2), octal (base 8), decimal (base 10), and hexadecimal (base 16). It is essential for computer science, programming, and digital systems study.
Formula
Decimal → Binary: Repeatedly divide by 2 and read remainders in reverse. Example: 13₁₀ = 1101₂ Binary → Decimal: Sum of each digit × 2^(position) Example: 1101₂ = 1×2³ + 1×2² + 0×2¹ + 1×2⁰ = 13₁₀ Hexadecimal: 0-9, A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15 Example: FF₁₆ = 255₁₀
How to Use
- 1Enter the number to convert.
- 2Select the base of the input number (2, 8, 10, or 16).
- 3Conversion results to all bases are displayed simultaneously.
Tips
- ✔One hex digit corresponds to four binary digits (e.g., F₁₆ = 1111₂).
- ✔One octal digit corresponds to three binary digits (e.g., 7₈ = 111₂).
- ✔In programming, hex is used for color codes (#FF0000), memory addresses, and more.
FAQ
Q. Why do computers use binary?
The basic unit of a computer, the transistor, distinguishes only two states: on (1) and off (0). All data — text, images, music — is ultimately stored as combinations of 0s and 1s.
Q. Why is hexadecimal used?
Binary numbers can be very long and hard to read. Hexadecimal compresses every 4 binary digits into a single digit, making computer-related values like memory addresses and color codes much more concise.
Q. How do you handle decimal points in base conversion?
Separate the integer and fractional parts. The integer part uses repeated division; the fractional part uses repeated multiplication. Example: 0.625₁₀ → 0.625×2=1.25, 0.25×2=0.5, 0.5×2=1.0 → 0.101₂.
