Hex Calculator

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Hexadecimal Calculator

Introduction

This guide will help you navigate through the Hexadecimal Calculator, which is designed to perform various arithmetic and bitwise operations on decimal numbers and present the results in decimal, hexadecimal, and binary formats.

Step 1: Enter the First Number

Begin by entering a decimal number in the “First Number (Decimal)” field. This number should be between 0 and 4,294,967,295, as per the allowed range of the calculator. Ensure that this field is filled in, as it is a required input.

Step 2: Select the Operation

Next, select the operation you wish to perform from the “Operation” dropdown. The available operations include:

• Addition (+)
• Subtraction (-)
• Multiplication (*)
• Division (/)
• AND
• OR
• XOR
• NOT

Selecting an operation is mandatory for the calculation to proceed.

Step 3: Enter the Second Number

If the operation selected is anything other than NOT, you need to enter a second decimal number in the “Second Number (Decimal)” field. Similar to the first number, ensure this value is between 0 and 4,294,967,295. Make sure to fill this field, as it is also required for most operations except NOT.

Step 4: Calculate the Result

Once you have entered both numbers and selected an operation, the calculator will compute the result in three different forms:

• Decimal Result: Displays the result of the operation in decimal form.
• Hexadecimal Result: Displays the result prefixed with “0x” to indicate its hexadecimal form.
• Binary Result: Displays the result prefixed with “0b” to indicate its binary form.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily utilize the Hexadecimal Calculator to perform various computations. This tool is beneficial for anyone needing quick conversions and calculations across the decimal, hexadecimal, and binary systems.
