The place value of the digits according to position and weight is as follows:

                                 Position       3          2         1                  –1         –2
                                                                               .

                  Hexadecimal Number System

                  The Hexadecimal Number System has a base of 16 and uses 16 symbols: 0 to 9 and A to F. The letters
                  A to F mean 10 to 15. Each place in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16. For example,
                  (764)₁₆ is a hexadecimal number. Hexadecimal helps make long binary numbers easier to read.
                  The place value of the digits according to position and weight is as follows:

                                 Position       3          2         1                   -1        -2
                                                                               .

                      DECIMAL TO BINARY CONVERSION

                  To convert a decimal number into a binary number, follow these steps:

                  Step 1  Divide the decimal number by 2 (the base of the binary number system).
                  Step 2  Note down the quotient and the remainder.
                  Step 3  Divide the quotient obtained by 2 again, and note the resulting quotient and remainder.

                  Step 4  Repeat the procedure until you reach a quotient of less than 2.
                  Step 5  Arrange the final quotient and all remainders in reverse order (from bottom to top) to
                          get the binary number.

                  Look at the given examples to understand the conversion better.
                  Example 1: Convert the (26)  to binary number.
                                                10

                           2  26 –  0
                           2  13 –  1       The binary equivalent of (26)  is 11010
                                                                           10
                           2    6 –  0      In other words, (26)  = (11010)    2
                                                                 10
                           2    3 –  1
                                 1



                                            Start listing the last quotient and all the remainders from here.
                  Example 2: Convert the (64)  to binary number.
                                                10
                                                   2  64 –  0
                                                   2  32 –  0

                                                   2  16 –  0
                                                   2    8 –  0    (64)  = (1000000)
                                                                      10              2
                                                   2    4 –  0

                                                   2    2 –  0
                                                         1
