1. What is Hexadecimal Calculator?

The Hexadecimal Calculator performs arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) using hexadecimal (base-16) values. It converts hex values to decimal, performs the calculation, and converts the result back to hexadecimal format.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator follows these steps:

Supported operations:

• Addition: Hex1 + Hex2
• Subtraction: Hex1 - Hex2
• Multiplication: Hex1 × Hex2
• Division: Hex1 ÷ Hex2

3. Importance of Hexadecimal Calculations

Details: Hexadecimal calculations are essential in computer science, digital electronics, and programming. They are used for memory addressing, color codes, and low-level programming where direct manipulation of binary data is required.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter valid hexadecimal values (0-9, A-F), select the desired operation, and click Calculate. The calculator will display the result in hexadecimal format.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is hexadecimal numbering system?
A: Hexadecimal is a base-16 numbering system that uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F to represent values 0-15.

Q2: Why use hexadecimal instead of decimal?
A: Hexadecimal provides a more compact representation of binary data and is easier for humans to read than binary.

Q3: Can I perform bitwise operations with this calculator?
A: No, this calculator only performs basic arithmetic operations. For bitwise operations, you would need a specialized calculator.

Q4: What happens if I divide by zero?
A: The calculator will display "Undefined (division by zero)" as the result.

Q5: Are negative results supported?
A: Yes, the calculator handles negative results and displays them in proper hexadecimal format using two's complement representation.
