Conversion of 1AA from hexadecimal to decimal
Hexadecimal is a number system that uses 16 symbols to represent values. These symbols are 0-9 and A-F, where A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14 and F=15.
To convert 1AA from hexadecimal to decimal, we need to follow the given steps:
Step 1: Multiply each digit of the hexadecimal number by the corresponding power of 16, starting from right to left.
1 x 16^2 + A x 16^1 + A x 16^0
Step 2: Convert each hexadecimal digit to its decimal equivalent.
1 x 16^2 + 10 x 16^1 + 10 x 16^0
Step 3: Simplify the expression by performing the multiplication and addition operations.
256 + 160 + 10 = 426
Therefore, 1AA in hexadecimal is equal to 426 in decimal.
