    • For the given number 1234, following steps explains the conversion of decimal to hexadecimal value...

Explanation of Solution

  1. b. Converting unsigned hexadecimal number to decimal:
    • The decimal number has a base value of 10.
    • In the given number the hexadecimal number a represents 10 and e represents 14.
    • That is (2ae)16 =(21012)16.
    • For decimal conversion, each digit of the number is to be multiplied by 16...

Explanation of Solution

  1. c. Interpreting the hexadecimal number to 2’s complement number for the number 0xffd9:
    • In the given number f represents 15 and d represents 13. So the resultant is as follows.

        (ffd9)16=(1515139)16.
