2386 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 2386 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 2386 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 2386 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 2386 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 2386 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 2386 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

6 × 16⁰ = 6
8 × 16¹ = 128
3 × 16² = 768
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:

6 + 128 + 768 + 8192 = 9094

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.

9094 ÷ 2 = 4547 with 0 remainder
4547 ÷ 2 = 2273 with 1 remainder
2273 ÷ 2 = 1136 with 1 remainder
1136 ÷ 2 = 568 with 0 remainder
568 ÷ 2 = 284 with 0 remainder
284 ÷ 2 = 142 with 0 remainder
142 ÷ 2 = 71 with 0 remainder
71 ÷ 2 = 35 with 1 remainder
35 ÷ 2 = 17 with 1 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 2386 hexadecimal to binary:

2386 hexadecimal = 10001110000110 binary
