5217 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 5217 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 5217 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 5217 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 5217 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 5217 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 5217 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

7 × 16⁰ = 7
1 × 16¹ = 16
2 × 16² = 512
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:

7 + 16 + 512 + 20480 = 21015

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.

21015 ÷ 2 = 10507 with 1 remainder
10507 ÷ 2 = 5253 with 1 remainder
5253 ÷ 2 = 2626 with 1 remainder
2626 ÷ 2 = 1313 with 0 remainder
1313 ÷ 2 = 656 with 1 remainder
656 ÷ 2 = 328 with 0 remainder
328 ÷ 2 = 164 with 0 remainder
164 ÷ 2 = 82 with 0 remainder
82 ÷ 2 = 41 with 0 remainder
41 ÷ 2 = 20 with 1 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 5217 hexadecimal to binary:

5217 hexadecimal = 101001000010111 binary
