Why is more difficult to convert decimal to binary?

Whether or not it is difficult depends on your aptitude and your attitude. What you may find difficult I might find easy and conversely.


What is n in the hexadecimal?

n isn't used in the hexadecimal system, any more than it's used in decimal (everyday) numbers.


What is hexadecimal number?

The hexadecimal number system is one using 16 as the base instead of the more familiar ten which we use in the decimal system.

Why are MAC addresses written as six pair of Hexadecimal numbers?

Any data is stored internally in the computer as binary digits, but those are "bulky" - you need 4 binary digits for every hexadecimal digit, so hexadecimal is really a kind of shortcut to write out binary numbers.Decimal is another option, but conversion between binary and decimal is more cumbersome than with hexadecimal. Therefore, for the new IP addresses (IP version 6), they decided to write them down in hexadecimal, instead of the decimal that is used for IPv4.


How will you Convert this binary number 111111111111 into hexadecimal?

4095 For anything more complex I would use the standard 'calculator' provided with Windows, click on 'View' then 'Scientific'. The radio buttons let you select Decimal, Hex, Octal or Binary for the currently displayed number.


Are Memory addresses are most often displayed in the hexadecimal numbering system?

Yes. We could use decimal notation but hexadecimal is more convenient because it requires fewer digits and more closely reflects the way the machine addresses memory using its native binary notation. For instance, a 64-bit address in decimal requires 20 decimal digits (including leading zeroes) but only 16 hexadecimal digits. Moreover, the hexadecimal value can be easily translated into the actual binary value used by the machine because each hex digit maps 1:1 with every nybble of the binary value. A nybble is half-a-byte (4-bits). Since each address typically represents an 8-bit byte, the value of that byte can also be expressed using just 2 hexadecimal digits (00 to FF) whereas decimal notation would require 3 digits (000 to 255). If we used decimal notation to present the contents of a block of memory, then we wouldn't be able to fit as many columns of data on the screen at once. More importantly, when we look at the contents of memory we're generally more interested in what the computer sees, and hexadecimal notation more closely reflects what the computer sees.


Why you convert binary number system to hexadecimal number system?

The hexadecimal system is a base 16 system, just as binary is base 2 and decimal is base 10. The same way that a binary system is more practical for hardware and software implications, hexadecimal is great for easy viewing of binary numbers. It's a lot easier, in the opinion of most, to look at 1FE4 than it is to get the same information as quickly from 0001111111100100. Hexadecimal numbers can also be easily converted to the seven segment display commonly used on electric signs and scoreboards to display numbers and some letters.


Why is creating a converter from decimal to binary more difficult?

The answer depends on what the comparison is with! It is not more difficult than proving the Goldbach conjecture, for example.


Write a decimal?

a decimal is like a percentage. how do you convert a percentage to a decimal? Well lets say we have 891%. that turns to 8.91, this is a decimal. more examples: 5.6 .970 95247.9


What are the advantage of hexadecimal numbering system?

Each hexadecimal digit represents four binary digits (bits) (also called a "nibble"), and the primary use of hexadecimal notation is as a human-friendly representation of values in computing and digital electronics. For example, binary coded byte values can range from 0 to 255 (decimal) but may be more conveniently represented as two hexadecimal digits in the range 00 through FF. Hexadecimal is also commonly used to represent computer memory adresses.
