hexilentymise

Hexilentymise is a term that refers to the process of converting a hexadecimal number into its corresponding decimal (base-10) equivalent. Hexadecimal is a base-16 number system that uses sixteen symbols, including the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F, where A represents 10, B represents 11, and so on up to F, which represents 15. To convert a hexadecimal number to decimal, each digit is multiplied by 16 raised to the power of its position, starting from the rightmost digit (which is position 0). The results are then summed to obtain the decimal equivalent.

For example, to convert the hexadecimal number 1A3 to decimal:

1. Multiply each digit by 16 raised to the power of its position: (1 * 16^2) + (A * 16^1) + (3 * 16^0).

2. Substitute the decimal values for the hexadecimal digits: (1 * 256) + (10 * 16) + (3 * 1).

3. Perform the calculations: 256 + 160 + 3 = 419.

Thus, the hexadecimal number 1A3 is equivalent to the decimal number 419. This process can be applied to any hexadecimal number to find its decimal equivalent.
