Examples

10₁₀ = 1010₂ = A₁₆ · 255₁₀ = 11111111₂ = FF₁₆

How to Use

Conversions use BigInt, so values larger than JavaScript's safe integer limit remain exact.

This tool accepts unsigned whole numbers only. Fractions and negative values are rejected because their representation depends on a chosen fixed-point or signed encoding.

FAQs

How do you convert decimal to binary?

Divide the number by 2 repeatedly, recording the remainders. The binary number is the remainders read in reverse order.

What is hexadecimal used for?

Hexadecimal (base-16) is commonly used in programming for colors (#FF5733), memory addresses, and compact representation of binary data.

Tips & Common Mistakes

Tips

  • For binary input, only use digits 0 and 1. For hexadecimal, use digits 0-9 and letters A-F.
  • When entering negative numbers, the converter may use two's complement representation; check the output format.
  • Use the converter to verify your manual conversions when studying or working on assignments.
  • Remember that hexadecimal is often used as a shorthand for binary, as each hex digit corresponds to four binary bits.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Entering invalid characters like 'G' in hexadecimal or '2' in binary, which will cause an error.
  • Confusing decimal and hexadecimal notation, especially with numbers like '10' which is 10 in decimal but 16 in hex.
  • Assuming the converter handles fractions; it is designed for integer values only.
