32EC hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 32EC 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 32EC from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 32EC by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 32EC by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 32EC by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 32EC by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
E × 16¹ = 224
2 × 16² = 512
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 + 224 + 512 + 12288 = 13036

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.

13036 ÷ 2 = 6518 with 0 remainder
6518 ÷ 2 = 3259 with 0 remainder
3259 ÷ 2 = 1629 with 1 remainder
1629 ÷ 2 = 814 with 1 remainder
814 ÷ 2 = 407 with 0 remainder
407 ÷ 2 = 203 with 1 remainder
203 ÷ 2 = 101 with 1 remainder
101 ÷ 2 = 50 with 1 remainder
50 ÷ 2 = 25 with 0 remainder
25 ÷ 2 = 12 with 1 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 32EC hexadecimal to binary:

32EC hexadecimal = 11001011101100 binary
