45FD hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 45FD 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 45FD from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 45FD by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 45FD by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 45FD by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 45FD by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

D × 16⁰ = 13
F × 16¹ = 240
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:

13 + 240 + 1280 + 16384 = 17917

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.

17917 ÷ 2 = 8958 with 1 remainder
8958 ÷ 2 = 4479 with 0 remainder
4479 ÷ 2 = 2239 with 1 remainder
2239 ÷ 2 = 1119 with 1 remainder
1119 ÷ 2 = 559 with 1 remainder
559 ÷ 2 = 279 with 1 remainder
279 ÷ 2 = 139 with 1 remainder
139 ÷ 2 = 69 with 1 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 45FD hexadecimal to binary:

45FD hexadecimal = 100010111111101 binary
