FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common number systems?
The four most common systems are: decimal (base 10, everyday use), binary (base 2, computers), octal (base 8, file permissions), and hexadecimal (base 16, colors and memory addresses).
How do I convert between number systems?
To convert to decimal: multiply each digit by its place value and add. From decimal: repeatedly divide by the target base and read remainders bottom-up. Hex digits A-F represent 10-15.
Does the calculator show the working steps?
Yes. In addition to the final result the calculator displays the intermediate steps so you can follow the solution — ideal for school, university or homework.

How does the Number System Converter work?
Enter a number and the source system. The calculator converts to all common number systems and shows the conversion steps. Arithmetic in different bases is possible.
Key Data and Facts
Decimal: base 10 (0-9). Binary: base 2 (0, 1). Octal: base 8 (0-7). Hexadecimal: base 16 (0-9, A-F). Example: decimal 255 = binary 11111111 = hex FF.
Step-by-Step Guide
How to use the number system converter step by step: 1. Choose the source system -- decimal (base 10), binary (base 2), octal (base 8), hexadecimal (base 16) or any base from 2 to 36. 2. Enter the number -- use the digits of the chosen system. In the hexadecimal system, A-F are valid for the values 10-15. 3. Read the result -- the calculator displays the number in all common systems simultaneously. 4. Understand the conversion path: each digit is multiplied by the power of the base. Binary 1011 = 1*8 + 0*4 + 1*2 + 1*1 = 11 decimal. 5. Practical applications: binary for computer technology and networks (IP addresses), hexadecimal for colour codes in web design (#FF0000 = red), octal for Unix file permissions (chmod 755). Tip: Hexadecimal numbers can be easily converted to binary, since each hex digit corresponds to exactly 4 binary places (F = 1111).
