Tutorial

1

Select Input Base

Find the input box corresponding to the base you want to input on the tool page. There are four input boxes for binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal.

2

Enter Value

Enter the corresponding value in the selected input box. The tool will automatically validate the input legality. If illegal characters are entered, an error will be prompted.

3

View and Copy Results

While entering, the other three base results will update in real-time. Click the "Copy" button next to the corresponding result to copy to clipboard.

Base Introduction

Base conversion is one of the most fundamental concepts in computer science. Different bases have advantages in different scenarios.

What is Binary?

Binary is a number system widely used in computer technology, using 0 and 1 two digits to represent numbers, base is 2, carry rule is "carry one every two". Computers use binary internally to represent data because electronic components only have on and off two states.

What is Hexadecimal?

Hexadecimal is a carry system that carries every 16, using digits 0-9 and letters A-F (or a-f) to represent, total 16 digits. Hexadecimal is commonly used in computer field because it can represent binary numbers more concisely, one hexadecimal digit corresponds to four binary digits.

How to Quickly Calculate Base Conversion Mentally?

Binary to hexadecimal: From right to left every 4 bits as a group, each group corresponds to one hexadecimal digit. Decimal to binary can use division by 2 remainder method, repeatedly divide decimal number by 2, record remainder, finally arrange remainders in reverse order to get binary result.

FAQ

Q: Is the base converter free?
A: Completely free, no registration login needed, no usage limit, open webpage to use. All conversion done locally in browser, not uploaded to server, protecting your privacy security.
Q: Why do computers use binary?
A: Because electronic components usually only have two stable states (such as on/off, high/low level), using binary representation is most reliable and easiest to implement. Binary operation rules are simple, hardware implementation cost is low.
Q: Why use hexadecimal instead of other bases?
A: Because hexadecimal and binary conversion is very convenient, one hexadecimal digit exactly corresponds to four binary digits, can greatly shorten binary number writing length, while maintaining binary bit pattern characteristics.
Q: How to distinguish numbers in different bases?
A: Usually use prefix or subscript: binary add prefix 0b (such as 0b1010), octal add prefix 0o (such as 0o12), hexadecimal add prefix 0x (such as 0xA), or use subscript 2, 8, 10, 16 to represent.
Q: What are the practical uses of octal?
A: Octal is commonly used in Unix/Linux system file permission representation (such as chmod 755), and some old computer systems. Now octal usage is decreasing, mostly replaced by hexadecimal.
Q: Can decimal fractions be base converted?
A: This tool currently only supports integer conversion. Decimal fraction base conversion method is different, need to separately convert integer part and decimal part, decimal part uses multiply base get integer method.
Q: How to implement base conversion in JavaScript code?
A: Decimal to other base use Number.toString(radix), such as (10).toString(2) gets "1010". Other base to decimal use parseInt(str, radix), such as parseInt("1010", 2) gets 10.
Q: Does conversion process upload data?
A: No. All conversion done locally in your browser, using JavaScript calculation, not uploaded to any server, not recorded. Any data you enter will not leave your device.
