Convert 300 from decimal to hexadecimal

(base 16) notation:

Power Test

Raise our base of 16 to a power

Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 300

160 = 1

161 = 16

162 = 256

163 = 4096 <--- Stop: This is greater than 300

Since 4096 is greater than 300, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 2

Build hexadecimal notation

Work backwards from a power of 2

We start with a total sum of 0:

162 = 256

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 300 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 256 = 256

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 256 = 256

This is <= 300, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 256

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 1

161 = 16

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 300 is 2

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 2 * 16 = 32

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
256 + 32 = 288

This is <= 300, so we assign our outside coefficient of 2 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 288

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 12

160 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 15 we can multiply this by to stay under 300 is 12

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 12 * 1 = 12

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
288 + 12 = 300

Hexadecimal (10 - 15) are represented by an (A-F) where 12 translates to the letter C

This = 300, so we assign our outside coefficient of C for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 300

Our hexadecimal notation is now equal to 12C
