4FC0 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 4FC0 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 4FC0 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 4FC0 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 4FC0 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 4FC0 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 4FC0 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

0 × 16⁰ = 0
C × 16¹ = 192
F × 16² = 3840
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:

0 + 192 + 3840 + 16384 = 20416

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.

20416 ÷ 2 = 10208 with 0 remainder
10208 ÷ 2 = 5104 with 0 remainder
5104 ÷ 2 = 2552 with 0 remainder
2552 ÷ 2 = 1276 with 0 remainder
1276 ÷ 2 = 638 with 0 remainder
638 ÷ 2 = 319 with 0 remainder
319 ÷ 2 = 159 with 1 remainder
159 ÷ 2 = 79 with 1 remainder
79 ÷ 2 = 39 with 1 remainder
39 ÷ 2 = 19 with 1 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 4FC0 hexadecimal to binary:

4FC0 hexadecimal = 100111111000000 binary
