15AD hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 15AD to a binary number. First note that the hexadecimal number system has sixteen different digits (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F) and the binary number system has only two different digits (0 and 1).

The four steps used to convert 15AD from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 15AD by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 15AD by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 15AD by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 15AD by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

D × 16⁰ = 13
A × 16¹ = 160
5 × 16² = 1280
1 × 16³ = 4096

Remember that the hexadecimal number system has sixteen different digits, so when doing the above calculation, we use the following values if applicable: A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, and F=15.

Step 2)
Next, we add up all the products we got from Step 1, like this:

13 + 160 + 1280 + 4096 = 5549

Step 3)
Now we divide the sum from Step 2 by 2. Put the remainder aside. Then divide the whole part by 2 again, and put the remainder aside again. Keep doing this until the whole part is 0.

5549 ÷ 2 = 2774 with 1 remainder
2774 ÷ 2 = 1387 with 0 remainder
1387 ÷ 2 = 693 with 1 remainder
693 ÷ 2 = 346 with 1 remainder
346 ÷ 2 = 173 with 0 remainder
173 ÷ 2 = 86 with 1 remainder
86 ÷ 2 = 43 with 0 remainder
43 ÷ 2 = 21 with 1 remainder
21 ÷ 2 = 10 with 1 remainder
10 ÷ 2 = 5 with 0 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 remainder
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with 0 remainder
1 ÷ 2 = 0 with 1 remainder

Step 4)
In the final step, we take the remainders from Step 3 and put them together in reverse order to get our answer to 15AD hexadecimal to binary:

15AD hexadecimal = 1010110101101 binary
