What is the Radix Numeral System Converter & How does it work?

A radix, or base, defines the set of symbols used to represent numbers. In the familiar decimal system (base‑10) the symbols are 0‑9, while binary (base‑2) uses only 0 and 1. Changing the radix lets computers store and transmit data more efficiently, especially when dealing with low‑level hardware or encoding schemes.

To convert a number from one radix to another we first translate it to an intermediate decimal (base‑10) value. This step uses the positional‑weight formula, where each digit is multiplied by the source base raised to the power of its position index.

Once the decimal equivalent is known, we repeatedly divide by the target base, collecting remainders, to construct the representation in the new radix. The process works for any base between 2 and 36, covering binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal, and many custom systems.

N_{10}=sum_{i=0}^{k} d_i times b^{i}
d_i = digit at position i, b = source radix

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a binary number to decimal?
Multiply each binary digit by 2 raised to the power of its position from right to left, starting at 0.
Can you explain how radix conversion works?
First, convert the number to decimal using positional weights. Then, convert the decimal to the target radix.
What is a radix in numeral systems?
A radix is the base of a numeral system, defining the set of symbols used to represent numbers.
How do I convert a hexadecimal number to binary?
Replace each hexadecimal digit with its 4-bit binary equivalent.
Why is radix conversion important in computing?
It allows efficient data storage and transmission, especially in low-level hardware or encoding schemes.
How do I convert a decimal number to octal?
Divide the decimal number by 8 repeatedly, using the remainders as the octal digits from right to left.
What is the difference between binary and hexadecimal systems?
Binary uses base-2 with symbols 0 and 1, while hexadecimal uses base-16 with symbols 0-9 and A-F.
