51DC hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 51DC 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 51DC from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 51DC by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 51DC by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 51DC by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 51DC by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
D × 16¹ = 208
1 × 16² = 256
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:

12 + 208 + 256 + 20480 = 20956

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.

20956 ÷ 2 = 10478 with 0 remainder
10478 ÷ 2 = 5239 with 0 remainder
5239 ÷ 2 = 2619 with 1 remainder
2619 ÷ 2 = 1309 with 1 remainder
1309 ÷ 2 = 654 with 1 remainder
654 ÷ 2 = 327 with 0 remainder
327 ÷ 2 = 163 with 1 remainder
163 ÷ 2 = 81 with 1 remainder
81 ÷ 2 = 40 with 1 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 51DC hexadecimal to binary:

51DC hexadecimal = 101000111011100 binary
