How to convert hex to decimal

  1. Write down the hex number and number each digit's position from right to left, starting at 0.
  2. Multiply each digit's value (0-9 = 0-9, A-F = 10-15) by 16 raised to the power of its position.
  3. Add all the results together — that's your decimal number.

Example: 1A3₁₆ = (1 × 16²) + (10 × 16¹) + (3 × 16⁰) = 256 + 160 + 3 = 419.
