3A02 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 3A02 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 3A02 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 3A02 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 3A02 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 3A02 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 3A02 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

2 × 16⁰ = 2
0 × 16¹ = 0
A × 16² = 2560
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:

2 + 0 + 2560 + 12288 = 14850

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.

14850 ÷ 2 = 7425 with 0 remainder
7425 ÷ 2 = 3712 with 1 remainder
3712 ÷ 2 = 1856 with 0 remainder
1856 ÷ 2 = 928 with 0 remainder
928 ÷ 2 = 464 with 0 remainder
464 ÷ 2 = 232 with 0 remainder
232 ÷ 2 = 116 with 0 remainder
116 ÷ 2 = 58 with 0 remainder
58 ÷ 2 = 29 with 0 remainder
29 ÷ 2 = 14 with 1 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 3A02 hexadecimal to binary:

3A02 hexadecimal = 11101000000010 binary
