452A hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 452A 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 452A from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 452A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 452A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 452A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 452A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
2 × 16¹ = 32
5 × 16² = 1280
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 + 32 + 1280 + 16384 = 17706

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.

17706 ÷ 2 = 8853 with 0 remainder
8853 ÷ 2 = 4426 with 1 remainder
4426 ÷ 2 = 2213 with 0 remainder
2213 ÷ 2 = 1106 with 1 remainder
1106 ÷ 2 = 553 with 0 remainder
553 ÷ 2 = 276 with 1 remainder
276 ÷ 2 = 138 with 0 remainder
138 ÷ 2 = 69 with 0 remainder
69 ÷ 2 = 34 with 1 remainder
34 ÷ 2 = 17 with 0 remainder
17 ÷ 2 = 8 with 1 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 452A hexadecimal to binary:

452A hexadecimal = 100010100101010 binary
