426A hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 426A 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 426A from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 426A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 426A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 426A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 426A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
6 × 16¹ = 96
2 × 16² = 512
4 × 16³ = 16384

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 + 96 + 512 + 16384 = 17002

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.

17002 ÷ 2 = 8501 with 0 remainder
8501 ÷ 2 = 4250 with 1 remainder
4250 ÷ 2 = 2125 with 0 remainder
2125 ÷ 2 = 1062 with 1 remainder
1062 ÷ 2 = 531 with 0 remainder
531 ÷ 2 = 265 with 1 remainder
265 ÷ 2 = 132 with 1 remainder
132 ÷ 2 = 66 with 0 remainder
66 ÷ 2 = 33 with 0 remainder
33 ÷ 2 = 16 with 1 remainder
16 ÷ 2 = 8 with 0 remainder
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with 0 remainder
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with 0 remainder
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with 0 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 426A hexadecimal to binary:

426A hexadecimal = 100001001101010 binary
