To convert hexadecimal numbers to decimal, we need to understand that hexadecimal is a base-16 number system, which means it uses 16 symbols: 0-9 and A-F. The letters A to F represent decimal values 10 to 15, respectively. Each digit in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16, starting from the rightmost digit, which is 160.
- A: This is equal to 10 in decimal.
- FF: This equals 15 x 161 + 15 x 160 = 240 + 15 = 255 in decimal.
- B: This is equal to 11 in decimal.
- F0A2: This equals 15 x 163 + 0 x 162 + 10 x 161 + 2 x 160 = 61440 + 0 + 160 + 2 = 61602 in decimal.
- C: This is equal to 12 in decimal.
- 0F100: This equals 0 x 164 + 15 x 163 + 1 x 162 + 0 x 161 + 0 x 160 = 0 + 61440 + 256 + 0 + 0 = 61706 in decimal.
- D: This is equal to 13 in decimal.
- 100: This equals 1 x 162 + 0 x 161 + 0 x 160 = 256 + 0 + 0 = 256 in decimal.
Thus, the decimal equivalents are:
- A = 10
- FF = 255
- B = 11
- F0A2 = 61602
- C = 12
- 0F100 = 61706
- D = 13
- 100 = 256
