| Hexadecimal (base 16) | 1000 |
| Octal (base 8) | 10000 |
How 4096 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:
4096 = 4096
That is why 4096 in decimal is 1000000000000 in binary: it is exactly the set of powers of two that add up to 4096. To get the hexadecimal form, group the bits into fours from the right and write each group as one hex digit, which gives 1000.
