Converting From Decimal to Hexadecimal The Easy Way

Part of the GCSE Computer Science course, many people struggle with converting from Decimal to Hexadecimal. In this video I'll show you a simple, easy way that involves very little maths and can even be done in your head with a little practice.

Learned more here in 20 minutes about Decimal and Hex than at school many, many years ago. Thank you very much.

@16:00 I didn't get it right because I did it by head and skipped the 8. But now you know your video is still useful years after it's been uploaded, and thank you for that !

Excellent presentation and video. Straight to the point simple plain English and easy to understand. I got the second one right after watching you do the first one. I'm taking my CCNA June 8th 2020 wish me luck I'll update you.

Thanks for the video, helped me a lot. I need this for the school, so I paused the second task and calculated it on a sheet. Could it be that you made a mistake? 237 in Decimal would be 11101101 and not 11101001. The difference is the sixth digit. So it would be in Hexadecimal not E9 but ED. Have it recalculated on a website again, E9 would be 233, ED would be 237. Sorry for my English, in german you don't find such videos like yours, thanks.

Quick question how would I convert 299 to hex?

[@dawoudtormos8004]

sorry if it ever chrashes. 😂😂

[@dionclingwall8298]

How does one read the number E9 aloud? As 'two hundred thirty three'? Or is it simply read as 'E nine'? Thanks for the quick and clear method of conversion.

[@TheTechTrain]

Hello, glad you liked the video. It's important when reading either binary or hexadecimal numbers not to read them as though they were decimal. So, in this case E9 is read as exactly that 'Ee Nine'. You can see how this is important because while the digits 10 in decimal are read as 'ten', in binary 10 is the value of two, and in hexadecimal 10 is equivalent to 16, so we always read these as the digits, not the familiar decimal words. I hope this helps.
