Converting Between Decimal Binary Hex & Octal?

L

Louis Bybee

Growing weary of manually converting between the Decimal, Binary, Hex, &
Octal number bases I dusted off my old TI-83+ Calculator to see if that
ability was included in its bag of tricks. Unless I'm missing something I
couldn't discover any such ability. What would be slick is a similar
function that's available in the scientific view mode of the calculator in
W9x, and XP Systems, but without having to lug around a computer.

What I'm after might require a program to be available with the TI
Calculator?

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.

By a cheap Casio that does the job.

You'll need to check model numbers, the one I use hasn't been made for
years.

I don't know about TIs, but several HP models can do that. I have a 48GX
that can. I am sure the new 48 and 49 series can also.

Buy an HP. My HP 49g+ does the conversions. It sells for $149 from Walmart
on the Internet.
