26AC hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 26AC 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 26AC from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 26AC by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 26AC by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 26AC by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 26AC by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
A × 16¹ = 160
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:

12 + 160 + 1536 + 8192 = 9900

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.

9900 ÷ 2 = 4950 with 0 remainder
4950 ÷ 2 = 2475 with 0 remainder
2475 ÷ 2 = 1237 with 1 remainder
1237 ÷ 2 = 618 with 1 remainder
618 ÷ 2 = 309 with 0 remainder
309 ÷ 2 = 154 with 1 remainder
154 ÷ 2 = 77 with 0 remainder
77 ÷ 2 = 38 with 1 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 26AC hexadecimal to binary:

26AC hexadecimal = 10011010101100 binary
