To understand the correct order of the numbers from least to greatest, it's essential to first convert all the values into a common numerical base, typically decimal (base 10), so they can be easily compared.

  1. The binary number 1110 can be converted to decimal as follows:
  • Starting from the right, the digits represent powers of 2:

  • (1 \times 2^3) (8)

  • (1 \times 2^2) (4)

  • (1 \times 2^1) (2)

  • (0 \times 2^0) (0)

  • Adding these together gives (8 + 4 + 2 + 0 = 14).

  1. The decimal number is already in decimal format as 13.

  2. The hexadecimal number F represents 15 in decimal, as hexadecimal is base 16 and F corresponds to 15.

Now, having converted each number:

  • The binary 1110 is 14 in decimal.

  • The decimal number is 13.

  • The hexadecimal F is 15.

Ordering these values in decimal:

  • 13 (DEC)

  • 14 (BIN)
