2FAC hexadecimal to binary

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

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

C × 16⁰ = 12
A × 16¹ = 160
F × 16² = 3840
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 + 3840 + 8192 = 12204

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.

12204 ÷ 2 = 6102 with 0 remainder
6102 ÷ 2 = 3051 with 0 remainder
3051 ÷ 2 = 1525 with 1 remainder
1525 ÷ 2 = 762 with 1 remainder
762 ÷ 2 = 381 with 0 remainder
381 ÷ 2 = 190 with 1 remainder
190 ÷ 2 = 95 with 0 remainder
95 ÷ 2 = 47 with 1 remainder
47 ÷ 2 = 23 with 1 remainder
23 ÷ 2 = 11 with 1 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 2FAC hexadecimal to binary:

2FAC hexadecimal = 10111110101100 binary
