Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 3D86 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 3D86 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.
Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 3D86 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 3D86 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 3D86 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 3D86 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.
6 × 16⁰ = 6
8 × 16¹ = 128
D × 16² = 3328
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:
6 + 128 + 3328 + 12288 = 15750
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.
15750 ÷ 2 = 7875 with 0 remainder
7875 ÷ 2 = 3937 with 1 remainder
3937 ÷ 2 = 1968 with 1 remainder
1968 ÷ 2 = 984 with 0 remainder
984 ÷ 2 = 492 with 0 remainder
492 ÷ 2 = 246 with 0 remainder
246 ÷ 2 = 123 with 0 remainder
123 ÷ 2 = 61 with 1 remainder
61 ÷ 2 = 30 with 1 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 3D86 hexadecimal to binary:
3D86 hexadecimal = 11110110000110 binary
