3B50 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 3B50 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 3B50 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 3B50 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 3B50 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 3B50 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 3B50 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

0 × 16⁰ = 0
5 × 16¹ = 80
B × 16² = 2816
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:

0 + 80 + 2816 + 12288 = 15184

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.

15184 ÷ 2 = 7592 with 0 remainder
7592 ÷ 2 = 3796 with 0 remainder
3796 ÷ 2 = 1898 with 0 remainder
1898 ÷ 2 = 949 with 0 remainder
949 ÷ 2 = 474 with 1 remainder
474 ÷ 2 = 237 with 0 remainder
237 ÷ 2 = 118 with 1 remainder
118 ÷ 2 = 59 with 0 remainder
59 ÷ 2 = 29 with 1 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 3B50 hexadecimal to binary:

3B50 hexadecimal = 11101101010000 binary
