27 in Hex

Decimal 27 in hex conversion provides the detailed information on what is the hex equivalent of (27)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 27 to its hex (base-16) equivalent.

(27)10 in hex is equal to:
(27)10 = (?)16

Perform successive MOD-16 operation for decimal 27, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-16 of 27	27 / 16 = 1	Remainder is 11 → LSB
MOD-16 of 1	1 / 16 = 0	Remainder is 1 → MSB

Arrange the remainders of MOD-16 of 27 from MSB to LSB (1 11) and replace each remainders by the corresponding hex equivalent by referring the below table forms the equivalent hex number for decimal 27.

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 11 in hex is B → LSB

= 1B
27₁₀ = 1B₁₆

Hence,
27 in hex is 1B

where,
27₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 27₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
1B₁₆ is the hex equivalent of the decimal 27,
16 in 1B₁₆ represents the base-16 or hexadecimal number system.

Important Notes: (27)10 in Hex
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the (base-10) decimal number 27 into a (base-16) hexadecimal equivalent.

1. The initial remainder of MOD-16 operation for 27 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The last remainder of MOD-16 operation for 27 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. Arrange the reminders of mod-16 of 27 from MSB to LSB and replace each reminder by the corresponding hex equivalent forms the actual hex value of decimal 27.
