Each of these number systems is a positional system, but while decimal weights are powers of 10, the octal weights are powers of 8 and the hexadecimal weights are powers of 16. To convert from hexadecimal or octal to decimal, for each digit one multiplies the value of the digit by the value of its position and then adds the results. For example:
Hexadecimal (also known as base-16 or simply hex) is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 and "A"–"F" to represent values from ten to fifteen.
10001 is the binary, not decimal, representation of the desired result, but the most significant 1 (the "carry") cannot fit in a 4-bit binary number. In BCD as in decimal, there cannot exist a value greater than 9 (1001) per digit. To correct this, 6 (0110) is added to the total, and then the result is treated as two nibbles:
In the binary system, each bit represents an increasing power of 2, with the rightmost bit representing 2 0, the next representing 2 1, then 2 2, and so on. The value of a binary number is the sum of the powers of 2 represented by each "1" bit. For example, the binary number 100101 is converted to decimal form as follows:
To convert a number k to decimal, use the formula that defines its base-8 representation: = = In this formula, a i is an individual octal digit being converted, where i is the position of the digit (counting from 0 for the right-most digit). Example: Convert 764 8 to decimal:
The number is, by default, formatted with a final subscript 16 to display the base. An optional second parameter of |hex will replace the base with "hex". To opt out of the subscript, use a second parameter of |no (or equivalently |none ), which also forces the display of at least two hexadecimal digits (instead of just one for values lower ...

Intel hexadecimal object file format, Intel hex format or Intellec Hex is a file format that conveys binary information in ASCII text form, [10] making it possible to store on non-binary media such as paper tape, punch cards, etc., to display on text terminals or be printed on line-oriented printers.
