Because - Hex is an exact multiple of binary - whereas decimal numbers need to be converted from base 10 to base 2.
Assuming the original was in binary, the answer is 36.A
ABCD1 = 10101011110011010001
since bits are 0 & 1 in binary then 11111111 in binary = 256 in decimal = 377 in octal = FF in hexadecimal
Binary 110111 is equivalent to decimal 55.
58880 cannot be binary. Please check the base for 58880 and then what base you want to convert it to and then resubmit.
4F7B: Binary = 100111101111011 Decimal = 20347
It is used because it is easier to convert to and from binary to hexadecimal than decimal, and it uses less characters than binary. For instance: decimal: 65535 hex: FFFF binary: 1111111111111111
221122: Binary = 1000100001000100100010 Octal = 10410442 Decimal = 2232610

As compared to converting decimal into what other base! It is no more difficult to convert decimal into base 8 than decimal into binary or Hex.
10011101: Decimal = 157 Hexadecimal = 9D
Decimal is base 10. Binary is base 2. Octal is base 8. Hexadecimal is base 16.
16 is the 4th power of 2. So a hexadecimal number is converted to binary by replacing each hex digit by the 4-bit binary number having the same value. Conversely, in converting binary to hexadecimal, we group every 4 bits starting at the decimal (binary?) point and replace it with the equivalent hex digit. For example, the hexadecimal number 3F9 in binary is 1111111001, because 3 in binary is 11, F (decimal 15) is 1111, and 9 is 1001.

The way I convert between decimal and hexadecimal is to first convert the decimal number to binary: 664062510 = 110010101010011111100012 Then split the binary number into 16-bit (4 digit) chunks: 0110 0101 0101 0011 1111 00012 Next, convert each chunk into a hexadecimal digit: 0110 0101 0101 0011 1111 00012 6 5 5 3 F 1 Finally, put all the digits together: 664062510 = 6553F116
Okay, I'm pretty sure that 864 binary is 30 hexadecimal. - RG
