First go to http://www.shareordie.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3269 to learn binary.



OK, 1,453,752 is 101100010111010111000 is binary, now we turn it into a Hex number.



First Hex numbers goes like this:

1=1

2=2

.

.

9=9

10=A

11=B

12=C

13=D

14=E

15=F



Now you need to take the first octet (the far right 4) and place it under this little grid:



8 4 2 1

--------

1 0 0 0 = 8



See the 1 under the 8 column?

That is what you add.



So the next octet is 1011, put it under the grid:



8 4 2 1

--------

1 0 0 0 = 8

1 0 1 1 = B



See 8+2+1=11, so you can't just say 11 you have to put it in a Hex number, which is B.

So the full Hex number of 1,453,752 is:



8 4 2 1

--------

1 0 0 0 = 8

1 0 1 1 = B

1 1 1 0 = E

0 0 1 0 = 2

0 1 1 0 = 6

0 0 0 1 = 1 <-- Just add zero if it isn't a full octet



162EB8



So if you want to turn a number in to the shorter version of Hex, just turn it into binary, then use this grid and you'll do fine







P.S. Thanks Korrupt for the number to work with.
