50BB hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 50BB 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 50BB from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 50BB by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 50BB by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 50BB by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 50BB by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
B × 16¹ = 176
0 × 16² = 0
5 × 16³ = 20480

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:

11 + 176 + 0 + 20480 = 20667

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.

20667 ÷ 2 = 10333 with 1 remainder
10333 ÷ 2 = 5166 with 1 remainder
5166 ÷ 2 = 2583 with 0 remainder
2583 ÷ 2 = 1291 with 1 remainder
1291 ÷ 2 = 645 with 1 remainder
645 ÷ 2 = 322 with 1 remainder
322 ÷ 2 = 161 with 0 remainder
161 ÷ 2 = 80 with 1 remainder
80 ÷ 2 = 40 with 0 remainder
40 ÷ 2 = 20 with 0 remainder
20 ÷ 2 = 10 with 0 remainder
10 ÷ 2 = 5 with 0 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 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 50BB hexadecimal to binary:

50BB hexadecimal = 101000010111011 binary
