Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 22CF 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 22CF from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.
Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 22CF by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 22CF by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 22CF by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 22CF by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.
F × 16⁰ = 15
C × 16¹ = 192
2 × 16² = 512
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 + 192 + 512 + 8192 = 8911
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.
8911 ÷ 2 = 4455 with 1 remainder
4455 ÷ 2 = 2227 with 1 remainder
2227 ÷ 2 = 1113 with 1 remainder
1113 ÷ 2 = 556 with 1 remainder
556 ÷ 2 = 278 with 0 remainder
278 ÷ 2 = 139 with 0 remainder
139 ÷ 2 = 69 with 1 remainder
69 ÷ 2 = 34 with 1 remainder
34 ÷ 2 = 17 with 0 remainder
17 ÷ 2 = 8 with 1 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 22CF hexadecimal to binary:
22CF hexadecimal = 10001011001111 binary
