    First go to http://www.shareordie.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3269 to learn binary.

    OK, 1,453,752 is 101100010111010111000 is binary, now we turn it into a Hex number.
    First Hex numbers goes like this:
    1=1
    2=2
    .
    .
    9=9
    10=A
    11=B
    12=C
    13=D
    14=E
    15=F
    Now you need to take the first octet (the far right 4) and place it under this little grid:
    8 4 2 1
    --------
    1 0 0 0 = 8
    See the 1 under the 8 column?
    That is what you add.
    So the next octet is 1011, put it under the grid:
    8 4 2 1
    --------
    1 0 0 0 = 8
    1 0 1 1 = B
    See 8+2+1=11, so you can't just say 11 you have to put it in a Hex number, which is B.
    So the full Hex number of 1,453,752 is:
    8 4 2 1
    --------
    1 0 0 0 = 8
    1 0 1 1 = B
    1 1 1 0 = E
    0 0 1 0 = 2
    0 1 1 0 = 6
    0 0 0 1 = 1 <-- Just add zero if it isn't a full octet
    162EB8
    So if you want to turn a number in to the shorter version of Hex, just turn it into binary, then use this grid and you'll do fine

    P.S. Thanks Korrupt for the number to work with
