When i was introduced to hexadecimal i recognised it as they way colours are displayed and navigated on things like colour wheels.
Each hexadecimal digit represents 4 digits in binary (which is called a nibble or half a byte) so this makes for a more human friendly representation. Hexadecimal has a number base of 16.
To convert a decimal number to hexadecimal you need to take your number and divide it by 16 and keep dividing until you reach 0. But whenever there is a remainder you need to multiply the remainder by 16. Then once you are done, go back through and take the numbers you wrote down and covert them relative to there position on hexadecimal conversion.
I started by converting my birthday to hex however i messed up and didn't get the correct conversion but after i went over it with my teacher Leigh i got the correct answer which is 16 9 7D2. This helped my understand it much better.
