Decimal 72 in hex conversion provides the detailed information on what is the hex equivalent of
(72)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 72 to its hex (base-16) equivalent.
(72)10 in hex is equal to:
(72)10 = (?)16
Perform successive MOD-16 operation for decimal 72, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.
MOD-16 of 72 | 72 / 16 = 4 | Remainder is 8 → LSB |
MOD-16 of 4 | 4 / 16 = 0 | Remainder is 4 → MSB |
Arrange the remainders of MOD-16 of 72 from MSB to LSB
(4 8) and replace each remainders by the corresponding hex equivalent by referring the below table forms the equivalent hex number for decimal 72.
Decimal | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 |
