FAQs
- What's the difference between binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal?
Binary is base-2 (0,1), octal is base-8 (0-7), decimal is base-10 (0-9), and hexadecimal is base-16 (0-9, A-F). - Can I convert numbers in any base?
Yes, you can convert numbers from any base between 2 and 36. - What are common uses for base conversion?
Base conversion is used in programming, digital electronics, networking, cryptography, and data encoding. - How do I enter letters for bases above 10?
Use A-Z (case-insensitive) for digits above 9. For example, in base 16, A=10, B=11, ..., F=15. - Is there a limit to the size of the number?
The converter supports large integers, but extremely large values may be truncated for display. - Can I copy the results?
Yes, simply select and copy any result value.
Tips for Accurate Base Conversion
- Double-check the base of your input value.
- Use uppercase letters for clarity in bases above 10.
- Remember that leading zeros are ignored in most cases.
- For negative numbers, prefix with a minus sign (if supported).
Mastering base conversion is a key skill in technology and computer science. Use this tool to learn, verify, and explore number systems with confidence!
