3FEB hexadecimal to binary

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

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

B × 16⁰ = 11
E × 16¹ = 224
F × 16² = 3840
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 + 224 + 3840 + 12288 = 16363

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.

16363 ÷ 2 = 8181 with 1 remainder
8181 ÷ 2 = 4090 with 1 remainder
4090 ÷ 2 = 2045 with 0 remainder
2045 ÷ 2 = 1022 with 1 remainder
1022 ÷ 2 = 511 with 0 remainder
511 ÷ 2 = 255 with 1 remainder
255 ÷ 2 = 127 with 1 remainder
127 ÷ 2 = 63 with 1 remainder
63 ÷ 2 = 31 with 1 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 3FEB hexadecimal to binary:

3FEB hexadecimal = 11111111101011 binary
