Step 1: Split the Bits

Split the two hexadecimal numbers into single digits.

19
 
1 9

Step 2: Convert Digits to Denary

Convert each digit to denary.

For numbers 0 – 9, it will be the same. For numbers A – F, use 10 – 15.

1=1

1 less than 10, so it is the same in hexadecimal and denary.

9=9

9 less than 10, so it is the same in hexadecimal and denary.


Step 3: Convert to Binary Nibbles

Convert each denary digit into a nibble (a four-bit binary number).

1 =

8 4 2 1
0001

9 =

8 4 2 1
1001

Step 4: Join into a Byte

Put our two binary nibbles together to create one byte.

Remember to re-number the binary columns for the first nibble.

128 64 32 16   8 4 2 1
0001 1001

Step 5: Convert Binary to Denary

Finally, convert the whole binary byte into a decimal number.

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
00011001

16 + 8 + 1 = 25


The answer

We have now converted 1916 to 2510.
