Hex to Decimal Converter

How to convert from hex to decimal

A regular decimal number is the sum of the digits multiplied with a power of 10.

137 in base 10 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding power of 10:

13710 = 1×102+3×101+7×100 = 100+30+7

Hex numbers are read the same way, but each digit counts the power of 16 instead of the power of 10.

For hex numbers with n digits:

dn-1 … d3 d2 d1 d0

Multiply each digit of the hex number with its corresponding power of 16 and sum:

decimal = dn-1×16n-1 + … + d3×163 + d2×162 + d1×161+d0×160

How to Calculate Hexadecimal to Decimal

Hex is a base 16 number, and decimal is a base 10 number. Therefore, we need to know the decimal equivalent of every hex number digit. 

Here are the steps to transform hex to decimal:

  • Get the decimal equivalent of hex from the table.
  • Multiply every digit with 16 power of digit location.
  • (zero-based, 7DE: E location is 0, D location is 1, and the 7 location is 2)
  • Sum all the multipliers.

Here is an example:

7DE is a hex number
7DE = (7 * 162) + (13 * 161) + (14 * 160) 
7DE = (7 * 256) + (13 * 16) + (14 * 1) 
7DE = 1792 + 208 + 14 
7DE = 2014 (in decimal number)

Example #1

3B in base 16 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding 16n:

3B16 = 3×161+11×160 = 48+11 = 5910

Example #2

E7A9 in base 16 is equal to each digit multiplied with its corresponding 16n:

E7A916 = 14×163+7×162+10×161+9×160 = 57344+1792+160+9 = 5930510

Example #3

0.8 in base 16:

0.816 = 0×160+8×16-1 = 0+0.5 = 0.510
