2CB1 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 2CB1 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 2CB1 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 2CB1 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 2CB1 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 2CB1 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 2CB1 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

1 × 16⁰ = 1
B × 16¹ = 176
C × 16² = 3072
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:

1 + 176 + 3072 + 8192 = 11441

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.

11441 ÷ 2 = 5720 with 1 remainder
5720 ÷ 2 = 2860 with 0 remainder
2860 ÷ 2 = 1430 with 0 remainder
1430 ÷ 2 = 715 with 0 remainder
715 ÷ 2 = 357 with 1 remainder
357 ÷ 2 = 178 with 1 remainder
178 ÷ 2 = 89 with 0 remainder
89 ÷ 2 = 44 with 1 remainder
44 ÷ 2 = 22 with 0 remainder
22 ÷ 2 = 11 with 0 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 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 2CB1 hexadecimal to binary:

2CB1 hexadecimal = 10110010110001 binary
