6C16

6C16 is a hexadecimal number, which is a base-16 numeral system used in computing and digital electronics. In hexadecimal, the digits range from 0 to 9 and then A to F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on up to F, which represents 15. The number 6C16 in hexadecimal can be converted to decimal by evaluating each digit's contribution to the total value. Starting from the rightmost digit (which is the least significant), each digit is multiplied by 16 raised to the power of its position index, starting from 0. For 6C16, this would be:

(6 * 16^2) + (C * 16^1) + (1 * 16^0)

Since C in hexadecimal is 12 in decimal, the calculation becomes:

(6 * 256) + (12 * 16) + (1 * 1)

This simplifies to:

1536 + 192 + 1 = 1729

Therefore, 6C16 in hexadecimal is equivalent to 1729 in decimal. Hexadecimal is commonly used in computer science for representing binary-coded values in a more human-readable form, such as memory addresses and color codes in web design.
