Convert 114 from decimal to hexadecimal
(base 16) notation:
Raise our base of 16 to a power
Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 114
160 = 1
161 = 16
162 = 256 <--- Stop: This is greater than 114
Since 256 is greater than 114, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 1
Work backwards from a power of 1
We start with a total sum of 0:
The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 114 is 7
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 7 * 16 = 112
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 112 = 112
This is <= 114, so we assign our outside coefficient of 7 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 112
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 7
The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 114 is 2
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 2 * 1 = 2
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
112 + 2 = 114
This = 114, so we assign our outside coefficient of 2 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 114
Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 72
