53F hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 53F 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 53F from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 53F by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 53F by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 53F by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 53F by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

F × 16⁰ = 15
3 × 16¹ = 48
5 × 16² = 1280

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:

15 + 48 + 1280 = 1343

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.

1343 ÷ 2 = 671 with 1 remainder
671 ÷ 2 = 335 with 1 remainder
335 ÷ 2 = 167 with 1 remainder
167 ÷ 2 = 83 with 1 remainder
83 ÷ 2 = 41 with 1 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 53F hexadecimal to binary:

53F hexadecimal = 10100111111 binary
