15EC hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 15EC 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 15EC from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

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

C × 16⁰ = 12
E × 16¹ = 224
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:

12 + 224 + 1280 + 4096 = 5612

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.

5612 ÷ 2 = 2806 with 0 remainder
2806 ÷ 2 = 1403 with 0 remainder
1403 ÷ 2 = 701 with 1 remainder
701 ÷ 2 = 350 with 1 remainder
350 ÷ 2 = 175 with 0 remainder
175 ÷ 2 = 87 with 1 remainder
87 ÷ 2 = 43 with 1 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 15EC hexadecimal to binary:

15EC hexadecimal = 1010111101100 binary
