Decimal to HEX
Hexify Your Decimals
What is a decimal?
Let's start with the basics. Decimal, which is also called the base-10 system, is the counting method we use every day in our lives. It consists of ten digits: zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. These numbers are put together to show values. The place of a digit in a decimal number determines its worth. For example, in the number 456, four is for hundreds of places. Five and six are tens and ones, respectively.
What is HEX (Hexadecimal)?
HEX means hexadecimal, and it's a way to count things using the number 16. Unlike decimal, which has ten digits, HEX uses sixteen distinct digits: zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. The letters A, B, C, D, and F are used in HEX. In these numbers, it tells us how much something is worth using the decimal system. But HEX gives a smaller way to show values. That makes it very useful in many areas.

FAQs
Why is HEX used in web design instead of decimal?

Yes, changing from decimal to hex and then back to decimal can be undone. If you have a HEX number, use the opposite way to change it back into decimal.

In hexadecimal, one number can show options from 0 to 15 (0-9 and A-F). It's the same as using numbers zero through fifteen in decimal.
