Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 3A9E 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 3A9E from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.
Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 3A9E by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 3A9E by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 3A9E by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 3A9E by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.
E × 16⁰ = 14
9 × 16¹ = 144
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:
14 + 144 + 2560 + 12288 = 15006
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.
15006 ÷ 2 = 7503 with 0 remainder
7503 ÷ 2 = 3751 with 1 remainder
3751 ÷ 2 = 1875 with 1 remainder
1875 ÷ 2 = 937 with 1 remainder
937 ÷ 2 = 468 with 1 remainder
468 ÷ 2 = 234 with 0 remainder
234 ÷ 2 = 117 with 0 remainder
117 ÷ 2 = 58 with 1 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 3A9E hexadecimal to binary:
3A9E hexadecimal = 11101010011110 binary
