2710 = 1B16
Hence,
(1B)16 is the hex equivalent of (27)10
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.
- The initial or first remainder while performing 27 MOD-16 operation is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
- The last remainder while performing 27 MOD-16 operation is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
- Find the equivalent hex number for each remainders of 27 MOD-16 operation before arranging the numbers from MSB to LSB to find the hex equivalent.
- The remainders of 27 MOD-16 operation in hex equivalents should be written from MSB to LSB to form the hex equivalent for the given decimal number (27)10.
How-to: What is (27)10 in hex?
The below step-by-step solution shows how to convert (27)10 to its equivalent hexadecimal number. Represent each remainders of 27 MOD-16 operation in hex equivalents and arranging them from MSB to LSB produces the hex equivalent of 27.
Solved Example:
What is the hex equivalent of 27?
step 1 Observe the input parameters, values and what to be found:
Input values:
Decimal Number = (27)10
What to be found:
What is the hexadecimal value of decimal number 27?
(27)10 = (?)16
step 2 Perform successive MOD-16 operation for decimal 27 until the quotient becomes 0, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below:
Successive MOD-16 Operation for 27
| 27 MOD-16 | 27 / 16 = 1 | Remainder is 11 → LSB |
| 1 MOD-16 | 1 / 16 = 0 | Remainder is 1 → MSB |
step 3 Use the below table to find the equivalent hex representation for each remainders of successive 27 MOD-16 operation:
| 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 11 in hex is B → LSB
Decimal 1 in hex is 1 → MSB
step 4 Write the remainders of 27 MOD-16 operation in hex equivalents from MSB to LSB produces the equivalent hex (base-16) number for decimal (base-10) 27:
= 1B
(27)10 = (1B)16
Therefore,
the hex equivalent of 27 is (1B)16.
