What’s on the Binary, Hex & Decimal poster
A 10-row table: Dec · Binary · Hex.
Four bits make one hex digit — so hex is just binary written compactly.
- 0 — 0000 — 0
- 1 — 0001 — 1
- 2 — 0010 — 2
- 4 — 0100 — 4
- 8 — 1000 — 8
- 10 — 1010 — A
- 12 — 1100 — C
- 15 — 1111 — F
- 16 — 0001 0000 — 10
- 255 — 1111 1111 — FF
Split binary into fours from the right. 1010 1100 becomes A C, so 10101100 is 0xAC.

- Who is the Binary, Hex & Decimal poster for?
- Binary, Hex & Decimal belongs to the Computing section rather than to a school year, because computing is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning foundations can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Binary, Hex & Decimal poster?
- One hex digit is exactly four bits. Once that clicks, conversion stops needing a calculator. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Binary, Hex & Decimal belongs on the wall where that computing work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Binary, Hex & Decimal?
- Big-O Complexity, Bits, Bytes & Sizes and Bitwise Operations sit alongside Binary, Hex & Decimal in the Computing section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Big-O ComplexityBits, Bytes & SizesBitwise Operations
- Is the Binary, Hex & Decimal poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Binary, Hex & Decimal downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Computing section.
