Numbers are first written as numbers from 0 to 9. The next 6 digits, 10 to 15 are represented using the alphabets from A to F.

Example:

- Firstly, divide the number by 16 .  - 2562/16 = quotient 160 and the remainder 2. Again, divide the quotient by 16.

- Continue this until the quotient is 0.  - i.e., 160/16 => quotient 10, remainder 0 and 10/16 is quotient 0 and remainder 10.

So, the remainders in the reverse order are 10, 0, and 2. 

Further, you can perform the reverse to confirm the answer.
