258C hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 258C 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 258C from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 258C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 258C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 258C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 258C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
8 × 16¹ = 128
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:

12 + 128 + 1280 + 8192 = 9612

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.

9612 ÷ 2 = 4806 with 0 remainder
4806 ÷ 2 = 2403 with 0 remainder
2403 ÷ 2 = 1201 with 1 remainder
1201 ÷ 2 = 600 with 1 remainder
600 ÷ 2 = 300 with 0 remainder
300 ÷ 2 = 150 with 0 remainder
150 ÷ 2 = 75 with 0 remainder
75 ÷ 2 = 37 with 1 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 258C hexadecimal to binary:

258C hexadecimal = 10010110001100 binary
