Decimal to text converter
What is a decimal converter tool?
The decimal converter tool takes a string of characters as input and converts that string into decimal form. It is very challenging and time-consuming to convert large data into decimal form. Besides this, a chance of human error also exists in manual conversion.
With an online decimal converter tool, you can quickly convert a long string into decimal form without any errors. In this way, you can also save a significant portion of your time.
What is a decimal number?
The word decimal means tenth and arises from the Latin word Decimus. It is a base 10 number system comprising ten digits and denotes a number from 0 through 9. When the number arrives at 9, we add a number to convert it into double digits.
Other names for the decimal system are positional numerals, denary system, and base-10 number system. It is known as the positional numeral system because the value of a digit depends on its position.
Each digit in the decimal system has a position, and every digit is ten times more significant than the previous digit. For example, in 78, a decimal number, 7 is at ten's position and is more significant than 8, which is at the unit's position.
Each value in this number system has the place value of power 10. A decimal notation is used to represent a decimal number, i.e. the number is expressed in base 10, where each value is denoted by 0 or the first nine positive integers.
Only mathematicians were able to handle the complex old numeral systems. For the sake of simplicity, a decimal number system was introduced.
What is decimal number system used for
The base-10 numeral system is a standard way to denote both integer and non-integer numbers.
In our day-to-day activities, we use a decimal number system, i.e. for shopping, counting, height, length and weight calculation etc., because whole numbers provide less precision as compared to decimal ones.
It is a widely used number system in computer applications. The reason for its immense popularity is that it is easy to read and understand for human beings.

Decimal number vs Hexadecimal
The hex numbers are the same as the decimal ones because it's the shortest version of positional numerals. The difference between these two is that hexadecimal also contains letters (A, B, C, D, E, F) along with 0 to 9 numbers.
The alphabets come after the decimals in ascending order, i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
The hex numeral system has base 16, represented using a subscript of 16, i.e. (256)16. Whereas, the base of the decimal number system is 10.
How to manually convert decimal to hexadecimal
Let's take (256)10 as an example to understand the manual conversion of decimal to hexadecimal.
Divide 256 by 16 and note the remainder. Treat the division as an integer division. The digit sequence of the remainder from the last to the first is the hex value.
256/16=1=>Remainder=0
16/16=1=>Remainder=0
1/16=0=>Remainder=1
(256)10 = (100)16
So, 256 is 100 in hexadecimal.
