46 in Hex

Decimal 46 in hex conversion provides the detailed information on what is the hex equivalent of (46)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 46 to its hex (base-16) equivalent.

(46)10 in hex is equal to:
(46)10 = (?)16

Perform successive MOD-16 operation for decimal 46, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-16 of 46	46 / 16 = 2	Remainder is 14 → LSB
MOD-16 of 2	2 / 16 = 0	Remainder is 2 → MSB

Arrange the remainders of MOD-16 of 46 from MSB to LSB (2 14) and replace each remainders by the corresponding hex equivalent by referring the below table forms the equivalent hex number for decimal 46.

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 2 in hex is 2 → MSB
Decimal 14 in hex is E → LSB

= 2E
46₁₀ = 2E₁₆

Hence,
46 in hex is 2E

where,
46₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 46₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
2E₁₆ is the hex equivalent of the decimal 46,
16 in 2E₁₆ represents the base-16 or hexadecimal number system.
