In general
(an × rn) +… (a1 × r1) + (a0 × r0) + (a-1 × r-1) +…….. (a-m × r-m) -------(1)
Where an = Hexadecimal number at the nth place.
The above expansion of a number in any radix r, always gives back the decimal equivalent of the number.
Calculation:-
Given,
Hexadecimal number is (B2F8)16
Expanding according to equation 1,
(B × 163) + (2 × 162) + (F × 161) + (8 × 160)
= (11 × 4096) + (2 × 256) + (15 × 16) + (8)
= (45816)10
So, the decimal equivalent of the given hexadecimal number is (45816)10.
