The answer is 14

working:

decimal number 20 to hexadecimal, we take the 16 and divide by 20. "20" divided by "16" gives 1.25.

we ignore the digit after the decimal point. for this reason we take the whole number 1.

then we subtract "16" from "20"

20-16= 4

now combine "1" with "4" to get 14

Hexadecimal number system uses 16 different symbols;0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F

So in our case we must first find the largest power of 16 thats smaller than the decimal number 20.

so:

20/16=1.25 so 1 is the first digit of our hexadecimal number.

Next step is to find the remainder.

20-16=4 so 4 is our remainder.

once you get a remainder from 0-15 it can be expressed by a single hexadecimal digit.so 14 is the hexadecimal of the decimal number 20.

hexadecimal carries the base 16.so we devide the number 20 by 16 until you can nolonger get 16 out of it while noting the remainder.in this case 20 devide by16 is 1 remainder 4 thus the hexadecimal of decimal number 20 is 14

ANSWER 14. Converting the decimal number to hexadecimal; 20 divide by 16 to get 1 result with the reminder 4( divide the result by 16 until the result is 0 ). Therefore 1 divide by 16, the result is 0 reminder 1. Thus 1 and 4 which were the reminder is the answer written as 14.
