how to convert a number in one base to the same number in another using pascal
 
This is more a maths question than a Pascal one.

To convert to base 10.

32A (hex) = 3 * 16^2 + 2 * 16^1 + 10(A) * 16^0.
32A (hex) = 3 * 256 + 2 * 16 + 10 * 1.
32A (hex) = 768 + 32 + 10.
32A (hex) = 810.

To convert to base 16.

810 (dec)
810 / 16 = 50 rem 10.
50 / 16 = 3 rem 2.
3 / 16 = 0 rem 3.

Read numbers down to up, you get 32A.

Now it's up to you to code it.
