5521 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 5521 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 5521 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 5521 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 5521 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 5521 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 5521 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

1 × 16⁰ = 1
2 × 16¹ = 32
5 × 16² = 1280
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:

1 + 32 + 1280 + 20480 = 21793

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.

21793 ÷ 2 = 10896 with 1 remainder
10896 ÷ 2 = 5448 with 0 remainder
5448 ÷ 2 = 2724 with 0 remainder
2724 ÷ 2 = 1362 with 0 remainder
1362 ÷ 2 = 681 with 0 remainder
681 ÷ 2 = 340 with 1 remainder
340 ÷ 2 = 170 with 0 remainder
170 ÷ 2 = 85 with 0 remainder
85 ÷ 2 = 42 with 1 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 5521 hexadecimal to binary:

5521 hexadecimal = 101010100100001 binary
