Conversion between binary and hex integers is pretty easy - each group of four binary digits, starting from the left, can be written as a single hex digit.johann1301 said:How does one convert a number like 0.01011001012 to a base-16 system?
I know how to do for ex. 100011102, but the comma (or period confuses me)...
Looks good.johann1301 said:i meant 0.59416
0.01011001012 = 0.59416 ?
To convert from base-2 to base-16, you can use the shortcut method of grouping the binary digits into sets of four and replacing them with their corresponding hexadecimal value. For example, the binary number 1001 would be grouped as 0010 0001 and then converted to 21 in hexadecimal.
Converting between base-2 and base-16 can be useful for various reasons, such as representing large binary numbers in a more concise form or for easier understanding and comparison of binary data. Additionally, many modern computer systems use hexadecimal as a shorthand notation for binary values, making the conversion necessary for programming and debugging purposes.
Base-2, also known as the binary number system, uses only two digits (0 and 1) to represent all numbers. Base-16, also known as the hexadecimal number system, uses 16 digits (0-9 and A-F) to represent all numbers. This makes base-16 a more compact number system than base-2, as it can represent larger numbers with fewer digits.
Yes, any binary number can be converted to hexadecimal using the grouping method mentioned earlier. However, some binary numbers may result in a longer hexadecimal representation due to the need for leading zeros.
Yes, there are other methods for converting between base-2 and base-16, such as using a binary-to-hexadecimal conversion table or using mathematical formulas. However, the grouping method is the most commonly used and efficient method.
