It must be somewhere on the sunny side of 40 years since I did anything like this: probably with Mrs Whitaker when I was about 10 (1972) . . . and she, poor woman, has probably been gathered to the Great Primary Maths Classroom in the sky.
So: here I am mucking around trying to convert Decimal numbers into Hexadecimal numbers [nutty things I have done, #5,283] and falling foul of the fact that I failed to remember what Mrs Whitaker taught me [sin, sin and more sin] . . . So: 13492571 mod 16 = 11 (or 'B'). Which is all very fine and dandy, BUT, what is the non-mod bit? I suppose . . . . the best thing to do would be to do this: 13492571 / 16 = 843285.6875 and somehow chop off the numbers after the decimal point . . . I would be most grateful if someone could tell me how to do that . . .
