C Program For Decimal to Hexadecimal Conversion

Last Updated : 2 Aug, 2022

 Here we will build a C Program For Decimal to Hexadecimal Conversion using 4 different approaches i.e.

  1. Using format specifier
  2. Using modulus division operator
  3. Without using the modulus division operator
  4. Using Functions

We will keep the same input in all the mentioned approaches and get an output accordingly.

Input: 

decimal number = 45

Output: 

hexadecimal number = 2D

Method 1: Using the format specifier %X

C 
// C Program to demonstrate Decimal to Hexadecimal
// Conversion using the format specifier
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int decimalNumber = 45;
  
    // printing hexadecimal number
    // using format specifier %X
    printf("Hexadecimal number is: %X", decimalNumber);
    return 0;
}

Output
Hexadecimal number is: 2D

Method 2: Using the modulus division operator

C 
// C Program to demonstrate Decimal to Hexadecimal
// Conversion using the modulus division operator
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

    int decimal_Number = 45;
    int i = 1, j, temp;
    char hexa_Number[100];
  
    // if decimal number is not 
    // equal to zero then enter in
    // to the loop and execute 
    // the statements
    while (decimal_Number != 0) {
        temp = decimal_Number % 16;
      
        // converting decimal number 
        // in to a hexa decimal
        // number
        if (temp < 10)
            temp = temp + 48;
        else
            temp = temp + 55;
        hexa_Number[i++] = temp;
        decimal_Number = decimal_Number / 16;
    }
    // printing the hexa decimal number
    printf("Hexadecimal value is: ");
    for (j = i - 1; j > 0; j--)
        printf("%c", hexa_Number[j]);

    return 0;
}

Output
Hexadecimal value is: 2D

Method 3: Without using modulus division

C 
// C Program to demonstrate Decimal to Hexadecimal
// Conversion without using the modulus 
// division operator

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

    int decimal_Number = 45;
    int i = 1, j, temp;
    char hexa_Number[100];
  
    // if decimal number is not 
    // equal to zero then enter in
    // to the loop and execute 
    // the statements
    while (decimal_Number != 0) {
        int ch = decimal_Number / 16;
        int r = ch * 16;
        temp = decimal_Number - r;
      
        // converting decimal number
        // in to a hexa decimal number
        if (temp < 10)
            temp = temp + 48;
        else
            temp = temp + 55;
        hexa_Number[i++] = temp;
        decimal_Number = decimal_Number / 16;
    }
  
    // printing the hexa decimal number
    printf("Hexadecimal value is: ");
    for (j = i - 1; j > 0; j--)
        printf("%c", hexa_Number[j]);

    return 0;
}

Output
Hexadecimal value is: 2D

Method 4: Using functions

C 
// C Program to demonstrate Decimal to Hexadecimal
// Conversion using the functions

#include <stdio.h>

int dec_to_hexa_conversion(int decimal_Number)
{
    int i = 1, j, temp;
    char hexa_Number[100];
  
    // if decimal number is not 
    // equal to zero then enter in
    // to the loop and execute the
    // statements
    while (decimal_Number != 0) {
        temp = decimal_Number % 16;
      
        // converting decimal number 
        // in to a hexa decimal
        // number
        if (temp < 10)
            temp = temp + 48;
        else
            temp = temp + 55;
        hexa_Number[i++] = temp;
        decimal_Number = decimal_Number / 16;
    }
    // printing the hexa decimal number
    printf("Hexadecimal value is: ");
    for (j = i - 1; j > 0; j--)
        printf("%c", hexa_Number[j]);
}

int main()
{

    int Number = 45;
  
    // Calling the function
    dec_to_hexa_conversion(Number);
    return 0;
}

Output
Hexadecimal value is: 2D
