212F hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 212F 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 212F from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 212F by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 212F by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 212F by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 212F by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

F × 16⁰ = 15
2 × 16¹ = 32
1 × 16² = 256
2 × 16³ = 8192

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:

15 + 32 + 256 + 8192 = 8495

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.

8495 ÷ 2 = 4247 with 1 remainder
4247 ÷ 2 = 2123 with 1 remainder
2123 ÷ 2 = 1061 with 1 remainder
1061 ÷ 2 = 530 with 1 remainder
530 ÷ 2 = 265 with 0 remainder
265 ÷ 2 = 132 with 1 remainder
132 ÷ 2 = 66 with 0 remainder
66 ÷ 2 = 33 with 0 remainder
33 ÷ 2 = 16 with 1 remainder
16 ÷ 2 = 8 with 0 remainder
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with 0 remainder
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with 0 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 212F hexadecimal to binary:

212F hexadecimal = 10000100101111 binary
