48C2 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 48C2 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 48C2 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 48C2 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 48C2 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 48C2 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 48C2 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

2 × 16⁰ = 2
C × 16¹ = 192
8 × 16² = 2048
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:

2 + 192 + 2048 + 16384 = 18626

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.

18626 ÷ 2 = 9313 with 0 remainder
9313 ÷ 2 = 4656 with 1 remainder
4656 ÷ 2 = 2328 with 0 remainder
2328 ÷ 2 = 1164 with 0 remainder
1164 ÷ 2 = 582 with 0 remainder
582 ÷ 2 = 291 with 0 remainder
291 ÷ 2 = 145 with 1 remainder
145 ÷ 2 = 72 with 1 remainder
72 ÷ 2 = 36 with 0 remainder
36 ÷ 2 = 18 with 0 remainder
18 ÷ 2 = 9 with 0 remainder
9 ÷ 2 = 4 with 1 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 48C2 hexadecimal to binary:

48C2 hexadecimal = 100100011000010 binary
