385B hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 385B 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 385B from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 385B by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 385B by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 385B by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 385B by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
5 × 16¹ = 80
8 × 16² = 2048
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:

11 + 80 + 2048 + 12288 = 14427

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.

14427 ÷ 2 = 7213 with 1 remainder
7213 ÷ 2 = 3606 with 1 remainder
3606 ÷ 2 = 1803 with 0 remainder
1803 ÷ 2 = 901 with 1 remainder
901 ÷ 2 = 450 with 1 remainder
450 ÷ 2 = 225 with 0 remainder
225 ÷ 2 = 112 with 1 remainder
112 ÷ 2 = 56 with 0 remainder
56 ÷ 2 = 28 with 0 remainder
28 ÷ 2 = 14 with 0 remainder
14 ÷ 2 = 7 with 0 remainder
7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 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 385B hexadecimal to binary:

385B hexadecimal = 11100001011011 binary
