Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 3E9B 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 3E9B from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.
Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 3E9B by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 3E9B by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 3E9B by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 3E9B by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.
B × 16⁰ = 11
9 × 16¹ = 144
E × 16² = 3584
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:
11 + 144 + 3584 + 12288 = 16027
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.
16027 ÷ 2 = 8013 with 1 remainder
8013 ÷ 2 = 4006 with 1 remainder
4006 ÷ 2 = 2003 with 0 remainder
2003 ÷ 2 = 1001 with 1 remainder
1001 ÷ 2 = 500 with 1 remainder
500 ÷ 2 = 250 with 0 remainder
250 ÷ 2 = 125 with 0 remainder
125 ÷ 2 = 62 with 1 remainder
62 ÷ 2 = 31 with 0 remainder
31 ÷ 2 = 15 with 1 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 3E9B hexadecimal to binary:
3E9B hexadecimal = 11111010011011 binary
