Quaternary to Hexadecimal Converter
Ever struggled with converting numbers from base-4 (quaternary) to base-16 (hexadecimal)? You're not alone! Whether you're a programmer, mathematician, or just a curious learner, dealing with different number systems can feel like deciphering an alien language. But fear not! Our Quaternary to Hexadecimal Converter is here to save the day. Simply enter your quaternary number, hit convert, and voilà—your hexadecimal equivalent appears! It’s like magic, but better—because it’s math. No more head-scratching or endless Googling. Just quick, accurate, and stress-free conversions. Let’s make number conversions as easy as pie (or π, if you’re feeling extra mathy!).
Enter a quaternary number to convert it to hexadecimal.
How It Works
This tool takes a quaternary number (base-4, using digits 0, 1, 2, and 3) and converts it into a hexadecimal number (base-16, using digits 0-9 and letters A-F). Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- First, the tool converts the quaternary number into a decimal (base-10) number. Each digit is multiplied by 4 raised to the power of its position, starting from the right.
- Next, the decimal number is converted into hexadecimal by repeatedly dividing it by 16 and mapping the remainders to hexadecimal digits.
It’s like translating a sentence from one language to another—except you’re translating numbers! Here’s a quick reference table for some common quaternary-to-hexadecimal conversions:
