The Base-N Calculator is a powerful tool for converting numbers between different numeral systems. Whether you're working with binary, hexadecimal, or any other base, this calculator provides quick and accurate conversions. Download the calculator for offline use or embed it in your projects.
What is Base-N?
Base-N refers to a numeral system that uses N distinct digits to represent numbers. Common bases include:
- Base-2 (Binary): Uses digits 0 and 1
- Base-8 (Octal): Uses digits 0-7
- Base-10 (Decimal): Uses digits 0-9 (most common)
- Base-16 (Hexadecimal): Uses digits 0-9 and A-F
Base-N systems are fundamental in computer science, digital electronics, and mathematics. The calculator allows you to convert numbers between any two bases from 2 to 36.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the number you want to convert in the "Number to convert" field
- Select the current base of your number from the "From base" dropdown
- Select the target base from the "To base" dropdown
- Click "Calculate" to perform the conversion
- View the result and chart visualization
The calculator supports bases from 2 to 36. For bases higher than 10, letters A-Z are used to represent values 10-35.
Formula
Conversion Formula
To convert a number from base A to base B:
- Convert the number from base A to decimal (base 10)
- Convert the decimal number to base B
For example, to convert 1010 (base 2) to base 10:
- 1×2³ + 0×2² + 1×2¹ + 0×2⁰ = 8 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 10 (base 10)
The calculator implements this two-step process automatically for any valid input.
Examples
| Number | From Base | To Base | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1010 | 2 | 10 | 10 |
| FF | 16 | 10 | 255 |
| 10 | 10 | 2 | 1010 |
| 1A | 16 | 8 | 32 |
