Question No. 1

According to the Radix conversion algorithm, convert 492₁₀ to base 16 (Write down all the steps which are involved in conversion).

Answer:

492/16 =30( rem=12), x0=12=C

30/16= 1(rem=14), x1=14=E, x2=1

Thus 49210=1EC16

Question No. 2

According to the Radix conversion algorithm, convert the hexadecimal number D4₁₆ to base 10 (Write down all the steps which are involved in conversion).

Answer:

X=0

X= x+D (=13) =13

X=16*13+4= 212

Hence D416=21210
