48 65 6C 6C 6F in hexadecimal
Hello
How it gets there
- Each group is one byte
- 48 → 72 65 → 101 6C → 108 6C → 108 6F → 111
- Bytes become characters
- Decoded as UTF-8, so a multi-byte sequence forms a single character.
Why the working is here
Every other converter of this kind prints the answer and stops. A base is a positional system, so the answer is a sum you can check: each digit is multiplied by the base raised to its position, and the results are added. Going the other way is repeated division, reading the remainders upwards. Neither is a black box, and this page refuses to be one.
