4CB8 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 4CB8 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 4CB8 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 4CB8 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 4CB8 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 4CB8 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 4CB8 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

8 × 16⁰ = 8
B × 16¹ = 176
C × 16² = 3072
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:

8 + 176 + 3072 + 16384 = 19640

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.

19640 ÷ 2 = 9820 with 0 remainder
9820 ÷ 2 = 4910 with 0 remainder
4910 ÷ 2 = 2455 with 0 remainder
2455 ÷ 2 = 1227 with 1 remainder
1227 ÷ 2 = 613 with 1 remainder
613 ÷ 2 = 306 with 1 remainder
306 ÷ 2 = 153 with 0 remainder
153 ÷ 2 = 76 with 1 remainder
76 ÷ 2 = 38 with 0 remainder
38 ÷ 2 = 19 with 0 remainder
19 ÷ 2 = 9 with 1 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 4CB8 hexadecimal to binary:

4CB8 hexadecimal = 100110010111000 binary
