Working with different number systems is a fundamental skill in computer science, mathematics, and digital electronics. The Number Base Converter is a simple and efficient online tool designed to convert numbers between four commonly used bases: binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal.

Whether you are a student learning about base systems, a programmer handling low-level data, or someone exploring how numbers work in computing, this tool can help streamline your process.


What Is a Number Base Converter?

A Number Base Converter allows users to input a number in one base and instantly see its equivalent in other number systems. For example, the decimal number 15 can be represented as:

  • Binary: 1111

  • Octal: 17

  • Hexadecimal: F

This converter supports the following bases:

  • Binary (Base 2)

  • Octal (Base 8)

  • Decimal (Base 10)

  • Hexadecimal (Base 16)


How to Use the Converter

  1. Enter the number you want to convert into the input field.

  2. Select the base of the input number from the dropdown menu.

  3. Click the “Convert” button.

  4. View the converted results in all other number bases.

  5. Use the “Clear” button to reset the fields and start a new conversion.

All outputs are read-only, allowing easy copy and paste functionality.


Understanding Number Bases

Below is a brief explanation of each number system the converter supports:

Binary (Base 2)

  • Uses only two digits: 0 and 1

  • Common in digital systems and computing

  • Example: 1010 (binary) = 10 (decimal)

Octal (Base 8)

  • Uses digits 0 through 7

  • Occasionally used in computing, especially in Unix-based systems

  • Example: 17 (octal) = 15 (decimal)

Decimal (Base 10)

  • Standard number system used in daily life

  • Uses digits 0 through 9

  • Example: 255 (decimal) = FF (hexadecimal)

Hexadecimal (Base 16)

  • Uses digits 0–9 and letters A–F (A = 10, B = 11, …, F = 15)

  • Widely used in programming, memory addressing, and web color codes

  • Example: 1A (hex) = 26 (decimal)


Who Can Use This Tool?

This converter is useful for a wide range of users, including:

  • Students learning number systems or computer science fundamentals

  • Software developers working with low-level or embedded code

  • Engineers and technicians handling digital logic circuits

  • Web developers using hexadecimal color values

  • Educators teaching base conversion in classrooms
