How to Convert Decimal to Hexadecimal Manually

Converting decimal numbers to hexadecimal manually involves dividing the decimal number by 16 and recording the remainders. Follow these steps:

1. Take the decimal number that you want to convert to hexadecimal.
2. Divide the decimal number by 16 and record the remainder.
3. Repeat the division process with the quotient obtained in step 2 until the quotient is zero, recording remainders each time.
4. Write the remainders obtained in reverse order to obtain the hexadecimal equivalent.
5. Replace any remainders greater than 9 with the corresponding hexadecimal letters (A, B, C, D, E, F).

For example, to convert decimal number 255 to hexadecimal:

• 255 ÷ 16 = 15, remainder 15 (F)
• 15 ÷ 16 = 0, remainder 15 (F)

So, the hexadecimal equivalent of decimal number 255 is FF.
