*It is customary to add an “h” after a hexadecimal number to assure that readers know that it is hexadecimal number and not an ordinary decimal. There are many good converts on the Web. To convert a number, use any good search engine and enter “convert X to Y” substituting for X the number system that you wish to convert from and for Y the number system that you wish to convert to. E.g. to convert a decimal to binary enter “convert decimal to binary.”
