1AB2 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 1AB2 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 1AB2 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 1AB2 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 1AB2 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 1AB2 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 1AB2 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

2 × 16⁰ = 2
B × 16¹ = 176
A × 16² = 2560
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:

2 + 176 + 2560 + 4096 = 6834

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.

6834 ÷ 2 = 3417 with 0 remainder
3417 ÷ 2 = 1708 with 1 remainder
1708 ÷ 2 = 854 with 0 remainder
854 ÷ 2 = 427 with 0 remainder
427 ÷ 2 = 213 with 1 remainder
213 ÷ 2 = 106 with 1 remainder
106 ÷ 2 = 53 with 0 remainder
53 ÷ 2 = 26 with 1 remainder
26 ÷ 2 = 13 with 0 remainder
13 ÷ 2 = 6 with 1 remainder
6 ÷ 2 = 3 with 0 remainder
3 ÷ 2 = 1 with 1 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 1AB2 hexadecimal to binary:

1AB2 hexadecimal = 1101010110010 binary
