From Base-16 to Base-10 in an Instant

Our Hex to Decimal Converter simplifies the process of translating numbers from the hexadecimal (base-16) system to the decimal (base-10) system that we use every day. Hexadecimal is widely used in computing because it's a compact way to represent binary data. You'll find it everywhere from CSS color codes (e.g., #FF0000 for red) to memory addresses and error codes.

While computers work in binary, hex provides a more human-friendly format. However, to understand the true magnitude of a hex value, we often need to see its decimal equivalent. For example, the hex value FF translates to the decimal value 255, the maximum value for a single byte. This tool automates the complex math of positional notation, saving you time and ensuring you get an accurate conversion every time, whether you're a developer, a designer, or a student.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hex to Decimal Conversion

How do I convert hex to decimal?

To convert hex to decimal, you multiply each hex digit by the appropriate power of 16 and sum the results. Starting from the rightmost digit (which is 16^0), each position to the left increases the power by one. For example, the hex value 1A is (1 * 16^1) + (10 * 16^0), which equals 16 + 10 = 26.

How to convert base-16 to base 10?

Converting from base-16 (hexadecimal) to base-10 (decimal) is the same process. You use the positional value of each digit. Our tool automates this for you instantly: just enter the base-16 number to get its base-10 equivalent.

What is 0x3D base-16 in decimal base 10?

The hex value 3D is converted by calculating (3 * 16^1) + (13 * 16^0). This results in 48 + 13, which is 61 in decimal.

What is 33 hex to decimal?
