How 2479.24 is converted from decimal to sexadecimal?

Answer 1

Define R = 2479.24

Start Loop

Find the highest power, P, of 60 that is smaller than R ie 60P ≤ R < 60P+1.

Find the integer value of R/60P = I

The digit in 60P place is I. Note that "digit" ranges from 0 to 59.

Calculate R by (R - I*60P)

If R = 0 then stop.

If not, go around the loop again until you have the desired level of accuracy.

2479.2410 = 41 19 . 03 13 07 ...

ie 41*601 + 19*600 + 03*60-1 + 13*60-2 + 07*60-3 + ...
