558C hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 558C 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 558C from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 558C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 558C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 558C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 558C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
8 × 16¹ = 128
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:

12 + 128 + 1280 + 20480 = 21900

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.

21900 ÷ 2 = 10950 with 0 remainder
10950 ÷ 2 = 5475 with 0 remainder
5475 ÷ 2 = 2737 with 1 remainder
2737 ÷ 2 = 1368 with 1 remainder
1368 ÷ 2 = 684 with 0 remainder
684 ÷ 2 = 342 with 0 remainder
342 ÷ 2 = 171 with 0 remainder
171 ÷ 2 = 85 with 1 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 558C hexadecimal to binary:

558C hexadecimal = 101010110001100 binary
