2CDA hexadecimal to binary

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

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

A × 16⁰ = 10
D × 16¹ = 208
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:

10 + 208 + 3072 + 8192 = 11482

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.

11482 ÷ 2 = 5741 with 0 remainder
5741 ÷ 2 = 2870 with 1 remainder
2870 ÷ 2 = 1435 with 0 remainder
1435 ÷ 2 = 717 with 1 remainder
717 ÷ 2 = 358 with 1 remainder
358 ÷ 2 = 179 with 0 remainder
179 ÷ 2 = 89 with 1 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 2CDA hexadecimal to binary:

2CDA hexadecimal = 10110011011010 binary
