261B hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 261B 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 261B from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 261B by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 261B by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 261B by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 261B by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
1 × 16¹ = 16
6 × 16² = 1536
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:

11 + 16 + 1536 + 8192 = 9755

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.

9755 ÷ 2 = 4877 with 1 remainder
4877 ÷ 2 = 2438 with 1 remainder
2438 ÷ 2 = 1219 with 0 remainder
1219 ÷ 2 = 609 with 1 remainder
609 ÷ 2 = 304 with 1 remainder
304 ÷ 2 = 152 with 0 remainder
152 ÷ 2 = 76 with 0 remainder
76 ÷ 2 = 38 with 0 remainder
38 ÷ 2 = 19 with 0 remainder
19 ÷ 2 = 9 with 1 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 261B hexadecimal to binary:

261B hexadecimal = 10011000011011 binary
