What Is the Hex Calculator?

A hex calculator converts between hexadecimal (base-16) and decimal (base-10) systems. Hexadecimal uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F to represent values, where A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, and F=15.

The Formula

Decimal to Hex: Repeatedly divide by 16 and read remainders (10=A, 11=B, etc.). Hex to Decimal: Sum of (digit value x 16^position).

Web design (color codes like #FF5733), programming, memory addressing, networking (MAC addresses).
