173 in Hex

Decimal 173 in hex conversion provides the detailed information on what is the hex equivalent of (173)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 173 to its hex (base-16) equivalent.

(173)10 in hex is equal to:
(173)10 = (?)16

Perform successive MOD-16 operation for decimal 173, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-16 of 173	173 / 16 = 10	Remainder is 13 → LSB
MOD-16 of 10	10 / 16 = 0	Remainder is 10 → MSB

Arrange the remainders of MOD-16 of 173 from MSB to LSB (10 13) and replace each remainders by the corresponding hex equivalent by referring the below table forms the equivalent hex number for decimal 173.

Decimal	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15
Hex	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	A	B	C	D	E	F

Decimal 10 in hex is A → MSB
Decimal 13 in hex is D → LSB

= AD
173₁₀ = AD₁₆

Hence,
173 in hex is AD

where,
173₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 173₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
AD₁₆ is the hex equivalent of the decimal 173,
16 in AD₁₆ represents the base-16 or hexadecimal number system.
