438E hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 438E 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 438E from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 438E by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 438E by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 438E by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 438E by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

E × 16⁰ = 14
8 × 16¹ = 128
3 × 16² = 768
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:

14 + 128 + 768 + 16384 = 17294

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.

17294 ÷ 2 = 8647 with 0 remainder
8647 ÷ 2 = 4323 with 1 remainder
4323 ÷ 2 = 2161 with 1 remainder
2161 ÷ 2 = 1080 with 1 remainder
1080 ÷ 2 = 540 with 0 remainder
540 ÷ 2 = 270 with 0 remainder
270 ÷ 2 = 135 with 0 remainder
135 ÷ 2 = 67 with 1 remainder
67 ÷ 2 = 33 with 1 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 438E hexadecimal to binary:

438E hexadecimal = 100001110001110 binary
