How to convert decimal to hexadecimal in JavaScript

Question

How do you convert decimal values to their hexadecimal equivalent in JavaScript?

Answer 1

Here's a trimmed down ECMAScript 6 version:

const convert = {
  bin2dec : s => parseInt(s, 2).toString(10),
  bin2hex : s => parseInt(s, 2).toString(16),
  dec2bin : s => parseInt(s, 10).toString(2),
  dec2hex : s => parseInt(s, 10).toString(16),
  hex2bin : s => parseInt(s, 16).toString(2),
  hex2dec : s => parseInt(s, 16).toString(10)
};

convert.bin2dec('111'); // '7'
convert.dec2hex('42');  // '2a'
convert.hex2bin('f8');  // '11111000'
convert.dec2bin('22');  // '10110'

Answer 2

Constrained/padded to a set number of characters:

function decimalToHex(decimal, chars) {
    return (decimal + Math.pow(16, chars)).toString(16).slice(-chars).toUpperCase();
}

Answer 3

If you are looking for converting Large integers i.e. Numbers greater than Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER -- 9007199254740991, then you can use the following code

const hugeNumber = "9007199254740991873839" // Make sure its in String
const hexOfHugeNumber = BigInt(hugeNumber).toString(16);
console.log(hexOfHugeNumber)
