I have been asked to explicitly convert a decimal number to hexadecimal (radix sixteen) number in 1s complement...how the heck is that done?

I can convert to a binary number using 1s compliment...do I just take that and convert to hex after the fact?

Not sure I understand the question. Within the computer everything is obviously stored in binary, and it only becomes decimal or hexadecimal when it is output.
