266 in Hex

Decimal 266 in hex conversion provides the detailed information on what is the hex equivalent of (266)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 266 to its hex (base-16) equivalent.

(266)10 in hex is equal to:
(266)10 = (?)16

Perform successive MOD-16 operation for decimal 266, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-16 of 266	266 / 16 = 16	Remainder is 10 → LSB
MOD-16 of 16	16 / 16 = 1	Remainder is 0
MOD-16 of 1	1 / 16 = 0	Remainder is 1 → MSB

Arrange the remainders of MOD-16 of 266 from MSB to LSB (1 0 10) and replace each remainders by the corresponding hex equivalent by referring the below table forms the equivalent hex number for decimal 266.

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 1 in hex is 1 → MSB
Decimal 0 in hex is 0
Decimal 10 in hex is A → LSB

= 10A
266₁₀ = 10A₁₆

Hence,
266 in hex is 10A

where,
266₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 266₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
10A₁₆ is the hex equivalent of the decimal 266,
16 in 10A₁₆ represents the base-16 or hexadecimal number system.
