2560 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 2560 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 2560 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 2560 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 2560 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 2560 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 2560 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

0 × 16⁰ = 0
6 × 16¹ = 96
5 × 16² = 1280
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:

0 + 96 + 1280 + 8192 = 9568

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.

9568 ÷ 2 = 4784 with 0 remainder
4784 ÷ 2 = 2392 with 0 remainder
2392 ÷ 2 = 1196 with 0 remainder
1196 ÷ 2 = 598 with 0 remainder
598 ÷ 2 = 299 with 0 remainder
299 ÷ 2 = 149 with 1 remainder
149 ÷ 2 = 74 with 1 remainder
74 ÷ 2 = 37 with 0 remainder
37 ÷ 2 = 18 with 1 remainder
18 ÷ 2 = 9 with 0 remainder
9 ÷ 2 = 4 with 1 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 2560 hexadecimal to binary:

2560 hexadecimal = 10010101100000 binary
