54DC hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 54DC 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 54DC from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 54DC by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 54DC by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 54DC by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 54DC by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
D × 16¹ = 208
4 × 16² = 1024
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 + 1024 + 20480 = 21724

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.

21724 ÷ 2 = 10862 with 0 remainder
10862 ÷ 2 = 5431 with 0 remainder
5431 ÷ 2 = 2715 with 1 remainder
2715 ÷ 2 = 1357 with 1 remainder
1357 ÷ 2 = 678 with 1 remainder
678 ÷ 2 = 339 with 0 remainder
339 ÷ 2 = 169 with 1 remainder
169 ÷ 2 = 84 with 1 remainder
84 ÷ 2 = 42 with 0 remainder
42 ÷ 2 = 21 with 0 remainder
21 ÷ 2 = 10 with 1 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 54DC hexadecimal to binary:

54DC hexadecimal = 101010011011100 binary
