8421 in Hex

Decimal 8421 in hex form conversion provides the detailed information on what is the hex equivalent of (8421)10, and the step-by-step solution using the most simple method for how to convert decimal (base-10) number 8421 to its hex (base-16) equivalent.

(8421)10 in hex is equal to:
(8421)10 = (?)16

Perform successive MOD-16 operation for decimal 8421, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

MOD-16 of 8421	8421 / 16 = 526	Remainder is 5 → LSB
MOD-16 of 526	526 / 16 = 32	Remainder is 14
MOD-16 of 32	32 / 16 = 2	Remainder is 0
MOD-16 of 2	2 / 16 = 0	Remainder is 2 → MSB

Arrange the remainders of MOD-16 of 8421 from MSB to LSB (2 0 14 5) and replace each remainders by the corresponding hex equivalent by referring the below table forms the equivalent hex number for decimal 8421.

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 0 in hex is 0
Decimal 14 in hex is E
Decimal 5 in hex is 5 → LSB

= 20E5
8421₁₀ = 20E5₁₆

Hence,
8421 in hex is 20E5

where,
8421₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 8421₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
20E5₁₆ is the hex equivalent of the decimal 8421,
16 in 20E5₁₆ represents the base-16 or hexadecimal number system.
