The binary representation of "753" is "111101011".
-
Group the binary digits in sets of four starting from the rightmost digit: 0011 1101 0110
-
Convert each group of four binary digits to hexadecimal: 0011: 3 1101: D 0110: 6
-
Combine the hexadecimal digits to form the resulting hexadecimal number: The resulting hexadecimal number is "3D6".
So, the octal number "753" is equivalent to the hexadecimal number "3D6".
You can use online converters or programming libraries to perform octal to hexadecimal conversions conveniently.
