How to Convert: Step-by-Step

Decimal to Binary

Divide the number by 2 repeatedly and record remainders from bottom to top. Example: 13 → 13÷2=6 R1, 6÷2=3 R0, 3÷2=1 R1, 1÷2=0 R1 → Binary: 1101

Binary to Decimal

Multiply each bit by 2 raised to its position (from right, starting at 0) and sum. Example: 1101 = (1×8) + (1×4) + (0×2) + (1×1) = 8+4+0+1 = 13

Hexadecimal in CSS

Hex colours in CSS use 6 hex digits: #RRGGBB. Example: #FF5722 = Red:255, Green:87, Blue:34 — the signature orange of DigitalToolVault!

💡 In computer science, a byte = 8 bits = 2 hex digits. The maximum value of 1 byte is 11111111 in binary = 255 in decimal = FF in hexadecimal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do computers use binary?Computers use binary because digital circuits have two stable states — on (1) and off (0) — represented by high and low voltages. All complex operations (arithmetic, logic, storage) are built from these two states.

What is hexadecimal used for in programming?Hex is used for memory addresses, byte values, HTML/CSS colours, character encoding (Unicode), checksums and MAC addresses. It is compact — 2 hex digits represent exactly 1 byte.

What does chmod 755 mean in octal?In Unix/Linux, file permissions are stored in octal. 755 = 111 101 101 in binary = owner can read/write/execute, group can read/execute, others can read/execute.

Can I convert negative numbers or decimals?This tool converts non-negative integers. For signed integers, use Two's Complement representation. For decimal fractions in binary, the conversion uses a separate method (multiply by 2 and track integer parts).

Understanding Binary and Decimal Systems

The binary number system is a base-2 system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. Each digit represents a power of 2. On the other hand, the decimal system is a base-10 system that uses digits from 0 to 9. Converting between these systems is a fundamental concept in computer science and digital electronics.

For example, the binary number 1010 is equal to the decimal number 10. This conversion is done by multiplying each binary digit by powers of 2 and summing the results.
