The sum of the hexadecimal numbers 2BBB₁₆ and 19FBD₁₆ is 1CB78₁₆.

How to calculate the hexadecimal sum.

In hexadecimal addition, each digit position can range from 0 to 15 before carrying over to the next position.

Starting from the rightmost digit,

we add B₁₆ + D₁₆ = 26₁₀ (we have one 16 in 26 remainder 8, so write down 8 and carry of 1).

Moving to the next position,

we add B₁₆ + B₁₆ = 22₁₀ (add the 1 carried earlier we get 23, we have one 16 in 23 remainder 7, so write down 7 and carry of 1).

Moving to the next position,

we add F₁₆ + B₁₆ = 26₁₀ (add the 1 carried earlier we get 27, we have one 16 in 27 remainder 11 or B, so write down B and carry of 1).

Carrying over once more,

we add 9₁₆ + 2₁₆ = 11₁₀ (add the 1 carried earlier we get 12 or C, so write down C).

lastly we bring down the digit 1.

Therefore, the sum of 2BBB₁₆ and 19FBD₁₆ is 1CB78₁₆ in hexadecimal notation.
