| Base | Value |
|---|---|
| Decimal (base 10) | 150 |
| Binary (base 2) | 10010110 |
| Hexadecimal (base 16) | 96 |
| Octal (base 8) | 226 |
How 150 converts to binary
Binary is base 2, so each place is worth twice the one to its right: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and so on. Adding up the place values that have a 1 gives back the decimal number:
128 + 16 + 4 + 2 = 150
That is why 150 in decimal is 10010110 in binary: it is exactly the set of powers of two that add up to 150. To get the hexadecimal form, group the bits into fours from the right and write each group as one hex digit, which gives 96.
