3C7A hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 3C7A 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 3C7A from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 3C7A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 3C7A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 3C7A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 3C7A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
7 × 16¹ = 112
C × 16² = 3072
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:

10 + 112 + 3072 + 12288 = 15482

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.

15482 ÷ 2 = 7741 with 0 remainder
7741 ÷ 2 = 3870 with 1 remainder
3870 ÷ 2 = 1935 with 0 remainder
1935 ÷ 2 = 967 with 1 remainder
967 ÷ 2 = 483 with 1 remainder
483 ÷ 2 = 241 with 1 remainder
241 ÷ 2 = 120 with 1 remainder
120 ÷ 2 = 60 with 0 remainder
60 ÷ 2 = 30 with 0 remainder
30 ÷ 2 = 15 with 0 remainder
15 ÷ 2 = 7 with 1 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 3C7A hexadecimal to binary:

3C7A hexadecimal = 11110001111010 binary
