The "Initial Base" Entry

Enter the initial base of the number (e.g., 2 for binary, 8 for octal, 10 for decimal, 16 for hexadecimal, etc.).

The "Number" Entry

The table below describes the notation for entering the number's digits. Note that the digit values in this table are shown in base 10. If a digit value is from 10 to 15, you can use the standard hexidecimal symbols A through F. For a digit value larger than 15, you must enter its base 10 value enclosed in braces. The braces notation can actually be used for any digit value, and we will use it for all digts in the results when the new base is greater than 16.

Digit Value		Digit Notation
0	0
1	1
2	2
3	3
4	4
5	5
6	6
7	7
8	8
9	9
10	A or a
11	B or b
12	C or c
13	D or d
14	E or e
15	F or f
value is >15	{ base 10 digit value }

The following table illustrates the digit notation by showing how you could enter the base 10 number 447.63 in mulitple bases.

	Digit Notation Examples
	Initial Base	Integral Part	Repeating Fractional Part
10		447	63
2		110111111	1010001011
16		1BF	A2E8B
23		{19}{10}	{14}

The "New Base" Entry

Enter the new base to which you want the number converted (e.g., 2 for binary, 8 for octal, 10 for decimal, 16 for hexadecimal, etc.).
