When you work at routing, you will find yourself converting decimal to binary and the opposite, specially for the masks of the IP address, here I will show you how to do it easily using your command line terminal.

Decimal to Hexadecimal

echo 'obase=16;10'| bc

A

Or

wcalc -h 10

Decimal to Octal

echo 'obase=8;10' | bc

12

Or

wcalc -o 10

Decimal to Binary

echo 'obase=2;10' | bc

1010

Or

wcalc -b 10

From Hexadecimal to decimal

echo 'ibase=16;A' | bc

10

From Octal to Decimal

echo 'ibase=8;12 | bc

10

From Binary to Decimal

echo 'ibase=2;1010 | bc

10

Note: Be sure to have bc or wcalc installed on your system
