2FFB hexadecimal to binary

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

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

B × 16⁰ = 11
F × 16¹ = 240
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:

11 + 240 + 3840 + 8192 = 12283

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.

12283 ÷ 2 = 6141 with 1 remainder
6141 ÷ 2 = 3070 with 1 remainder
3070 ÷ 2 = 1535 with 0 remainder
1535 ÷ 2 = 767 with 1 remainder
767 ÷ 2 = 383 with 1 remainder
383 ÷ 2 = 191 with 1 remainder
191 ÷ 2 = 95 with 1 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 2FFB hexadecimal to binary:

2FFB hexadecimal = 10111111111011 binary
