Frequently Asked Questions

What is number base conversion?

Number base conversion is the process of converting a number from one numeral system to another. The most common bases are decimal (base 10), binary (base 2), hexadecimal (base 16), and octal (base 8). Each base uses different digits to represent numbers.

How do I convert decimal to binary?

To convert decimal to binary, simply enter your decimal number in the "Decimal (Base 10)" field. The tool instantly shows the binary representation in the "Binary (Base 2)" field. For example, 10 in decimal becomes 1010 in binary.

What are the valid digits for each base?

Decimal uses digits 0-9. Binary uses only 0 and 1. Octal uses digits 0-7. Hexadecimal uses 0-9 and letters A-F (or a-f), where A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, and F=15.

Why would I use different number bases?

Different number bases are used in different contexts. Binary is essential for computer programming and digital systems. Hexadecimal is commonly used in programming to represent binary data more compactly. Octal is sometimes used in Unix file permissions. Decimal is what we use in everyday life.

Can I convert negative numbers?

Currently, the tool supports positive integers only. Negative numbers and decimal fractions are not supported. For negative numbers, you'll need to use two's complement representation which is beyond the scope of this basic converter.
