255 decimal to hexadecimal

Here we will show you step by step how to convert the decimal number 255 to hexadecimal.

First note that decimal numbers use 10 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and hexadecimal numbers use 16 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F).

To convert 255 from decimal to hexadecimal, you must follow these steps:

Step 1) Divide 255 by 16. Keep the whole part of the quotient for the next step and set the remainder aside.

Step 2) Divide the whole part of the quotient from step 1 by 16. Again keep the whole part and set the remainder aside.

Step 3) Repeat Step 2 until the whole part is 0.

Step 4) Write down the remainders in reverse order to get the answer to 255 as a hexadecimal.

Important: Since there are more digits in hexadecimal numbers than in decimal numbers, replace the remainders that you put aside accordingly: 10=A, 11=B, 12=C, 13=D, 14=E, and 15=F.

Here is how to convert 255 decimal to hexadecimal using the steps above:

255 ÷ 16 = 15 with F remainder
15 ÷ 16 = 0 with F remainder

Now we put the remainders together in reverse order to get the answer. The decimal number 255 converted to hexadecimal is therefore:
