The Hex Calculator performs arithmetic operations on hexadecimal (base 16) numbers. Hexadecimal uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F, and is widely used in programming for colors, memory addresses, and data representation.
- Enter the first hexadecimal number (using 0-9 and A-F)
- Select an arithmetic operator: +, −, ×, ÷, or %
- Enter the second hexadecimal number
- Click Calculate or press Enter to see results in all number bases
- Full arithmetic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, modulo
- Results displayed in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal
- Support for large numbers using BigInt
- Case-insensitive input (both 'a' and 'A' are valid)
- Quick examples for common hex calculations
- What is hexadecimal?
- Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system using 0-9 for values 0-9 and A-F for values 10-15. Each hex digit represents 4 binary bits. For example, FF equals 255 in decimal.
- Why is hex used in programming?
- Hex provides a compact way to represent binary data. One byte (8 bits) can be written as exactly 2 hex digits. It's used for colors (#RRGGBB), memory addresses, and debugging.
- How do I convert hex to decimal?
- Multiply each digit by its place value (powers of 16) and sum. For example: A5₁₆ = 10×16¹ + 5×16⁰ = 160 + 5 = 165₁₀.
