How to convert from base n to base n
Method of calculation
When converting an n-ary number to an base n number, first convert the base n number to a decimal number.
Next, convert the decimal number to the base n number you want to convert from the base n number to the nase n number.
If one of the numbers is a decimal number, only the conversion is performed from an base n number to a decimal number or from a decimal number to an base n number.
In decimal numbers and above, numbers 11 and above are represented by alphabets, so they are converted to numbers for calculation.
Conversion from base n to decimal
An base n number starts from the first digit and continues as n0, n1, n2, n3 .
Therefore, when converting an base n number to a decimal number, you can find it by calculating the number of digits x nnumber of digits for each digit.
Conversion from decimal to base n
To convert a decimal number to an base n number, divide the decimal number by n until it becomes 0, and then get Remainder.
- Suppose you want to convert from an base n number to an base m number.
- 1. Calculates nnumber of digits for each digit.
- 2. The sum of all digit values x nnumber of digits is the result of converting to a decimal number.
- 3. The sum of all calculated numbers is the result of converting to decimal.
- 4. Divide this decimal value by m, the base m number you want to convert, to get Quotient and Remainder.
- 5. Divide the next Quotient by m to get Quotient and Remainder, and repeat until Quotient becomes 0.
- 6. The number obtained by reversing Remainder is the result of converting from an base n number to an base m number.
Calculation example
Example: Convert Hexadecimal "3B0C" to Octal
First, convert from hexadecimal to decimal.
Calculates 16number of digits for each digit.
Digit | Hexadecimal | 16n |
---|---|---|
1 | C = 12 | 160 = 1 |
2 | 0 | 161 = 16 |
3 | B = 11 | 162 = 256 |
4 | 3 | 163 = 4096 |
Calculating the number of non-zero digits x 16n yields "12×160 + 11×162 + 3×163 = 12 + 2816 + 12288 = 15116".
Therefore, converting hexadecimal number "3B0C" to decimal number becomes "15116".
Convert this decimal number "15116" to octal number.
Formula | Quotient | Remainder |
---|---|---|
15116÷8 | 1889 | 4 |
1889÷8 | 236 | 1 |
236÷8 | 29 | 4 |
29÷8 | 3 | 5 |
3÷8 | 0 | 3 |
Arranging the remaining numbers in reverse order gives 35414.
Therefore, the value converted from hexadecimal 3B0C to octal is "35414".
