- by Babil
The algorithm to convert input 8 digit hex number into 10 digit are following:
Given that the 8 digit number is: '12 34 56 78'
x1 = 1 * 16^8 * 2^3
x2 = 2 * 16^7 * 2^2
x3 = 3 * 16^6 * 2^1
x4 = 4 * 16^4 * 2^4
x5 = 5 * 16^3 * 2^3
x6 = 6 * 16^2 * 2^2
x7 = 7 * 16^1 * 2^1
x8 = 8 * 16^0 * 2^0
Final 10 digit hex is:
= x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 + x7 + x8
= '08 86 42 98 E8'
The problem is - how to go back to 8 digit hex from a given 10 digit hex (for example: 08 86 42 98 E8 to 12 34 56 78)
