Hex Calculator

Hex calculator is a tool that allows to perform mathematical operations such as multiplication, addition, subtraction, and division using hexadecimal numbers. 

Hexadecimal system is a base-16 number system, which is different from decimal system (base-10, using 0-9). Hex uses 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0-9 and then the letters A, B, C, D, E, F. These letters stand for the values 10 through 15.

What functions can perform with Hexa Calculator?

Just like a regular decimal calculator, a hex calculator can do basic arithmetic on hex numbers.

Hex Addition: Hex add follows the same rules as decimal add, except for the addition of the numbers A, B, C, D, E, and F which represent 10-15 respectively. It’s helpful to remember the decimal equivalents of these letters (e.g. A=10, F=15) when doing manual calculations. The calculator does this for you, and handles carries when the sum is greater than 15 (F).

Hex Subtract: Hex subtract is similar to add, except you borrow from higher places when you need to subtract a smaller number from a larger one. The calculator does this across the base-16 system.

Hex Multiply: This is like long multiplication in decimal, but for base-16. You multiply the hex digits and carry the values when the product is greater than 15 (F).

Hex Divide: Hex divide is like decimal long divide, how many times one hex number can be divided by another, with a hex quotient and remainder.

Why use Hex Calculator?

Hexadecimal is mostly used in computing and digital electronics.It's a compact way to represent binary numbers (base-2), because computers can understand the language. Four binary digits (bits) can be represented by a single hexadecimal digit, making long strings of binary much easier for humans to read and write. For example, the binary 11110000 is simply F0 in hex. You'll often see it in Color Codes, Memory Addresses, MAC Addresses, and Error Codes.
