Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

First, we need to convert these hexadecimal numbers into decimal numbers, then we can easily identify which one is the lowest hexadecimal.

The hexadecimal numbers are F2, 81, 3C, and 39.

F2 = (F2)₁₆ = (15 × 16¹) + (2 × 16⁰) = (242)₁₀

81 = (81)₁₆ = (8 × 16¹) + (1 × 16⁰) = (129)₁₀

3C = (3C)₁₆ = (3 × 16¹) + (12 × 16⁰) = (60)₁₀

39 = (39)₁₆ = (3 × 16¹) + (9 × 16⁰) = (57)₁₀

The 39 is the lowest hexadecimal number among the given numbers.

Because 39 hex is equal to 57 decimal.

39 = (39)₁₆ = (3 × 16¹) + (9 × 16⁰) = (57)₁₀
