Convert 107 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 >= 107

16⁰ = 1

16¹ = 16

16² = 256 <--- Stop: This is greater than 107

Since 256 is greater than 107, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 1

Build hexadecimal notation

Work backwards from a power of 1

We start with a total sum of 0:

16¹ = 16

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 107 is 6

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 6 * 16 = 96

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 96 = 96

This is <= 107, so we assign our outside coefficient of 6 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 96

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 6

16⁰ = 1

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 107 is 11

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
96 + 11 = 107

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

This = 107, so we assign our outside coefficient of B for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 107

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 6B
