This calculator that will tell you the maximum value when you enter the number of hexadecimal digits:
Hexadecimal uses the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F, where A represents the decimal value 10, B represents 11, C represents 12, D represents 13, E represents 14, and F represents 15. So, each hexadecimal digit can represent a value from 0 to 15 in decimal.
To calculate the maximum value in decimal when you know the number of hexadecimal digits, you can use the following formula:
(16^numDigits) - 1
This formula calculates the maximum value by raising the base of hexadecimal (16) to the power of the number of digits, and then subtracting 1.
The maximum denary (base 10) value that can be represented by 2 hexadecimal digits is 255. This is achieved by using the digits 'FF', which in denary is 15 * 16^1 + 15 * 16^0 = 240 + 15 = 255.
