16CC hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 16CC 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 16CC from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 16CC by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 16CC by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 16CC by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 16CC by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
C × 16¹ = 192
6 × 16² = 1536
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 + 192 + 1536 + 4096 = 5836

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.

5836 ÷ 2 = 2918 with 0 remainder
2918 ÷ 2 = 1459 with 0 remainder
1459 ÷ 2 = 729 with 1 remainder
729 ÷ 2 = 364 with 1 remainder
364 ÷ 2 = 182 with 0 remainder
182 ÷ 2 = 91 with 0 remainder
91 ÷ 2 = 45 with 1 remainder
45 ÷ 2 = 22 with 1 remainder
22 ÷ 2 = 11 with 0 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 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 16CC hexadecimal to binary:

16CC hexadecimal = 1011011001100 binary
