Question

How do you represent the (decimal) integer 50 in, oh, "hexadecimal," otherwise known as base-16? Recall that decimal is simply base-10, and binary is simply base-2. Infer from those base systems how to represent this one!

Answer 1

divide by powers of 16:
50/16 = 3, remainder = 2, so hex(50) = 32
172/16 = 10 remainder 12, hex(172) = ac where a represents 10, b 11, c 12
