308C hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 308C 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 308C from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 308C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 308C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 308C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 308C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
8 × 16¹ = 128
0 × 16² = 0
3 × 16³ = 12288

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 + 128 + 0 + 12288 = 12428

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.

12428 ÷ 2 = 6214 with 0 remainder
6214 ÷ 2 = 3107 with 0 remainder
3107 ÷ 2 = 1553 with 1 remainder
1553 ÷ 2 = 776 with 1 remainder
776 ÷ 2 = 388 with 0 remainder
388 ÷ 2 = 194 with 0 remainder
194 ÷ 2 = 97 with 0 remainder
97 ÷ 2 = 48 with 1 remainder
48 ÷ 2 = 24 with 0 remainder
24 ÷ 2 = 12 with 0 remainder
12 ÷ 2 = 6 with 0 remainder
6 ÷ 2 = 3 with 0 remainder
3 ÷ 2 = 1 with 1 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 308C hexadecimal to binary:

308C hexadecimal = 11000010001100 binary
