4D88 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 4D88 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 4D88 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 4D88 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 4D88 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 4D88 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 4D88 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

8 × 16⁰ = 8
8 × 16¹ = 128
D × 16² = 3328
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 + 128 + 3328 + 16384 = 19848

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.

19848 ÷ 2 = 9924 with 0 remainder
9924 ÷ 2 = 4962 with 0 remainder
4962 ÷ 2 = 2481 with 0 remainder
2481 ÷ 2 = 1240 with 1 remainder
1240 ÷ 2 = 620 with 0 remainder
620 ÷ 2 = 310 with 0 remainder
310 ÷ 2 = 155 with 0 remainder
155 ÷ 2 = 77 with 1 remainder
77 ÷ 2 = 38 with 1 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 4D88 hexadecimal to binary:

4D88 hexadecimal = 100110110001000 binary
