579F hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 579F 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 579F from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 579F by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 579F by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 579F by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 579F by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

F × 16⁰ = 15
9 × 16¹ = 144
7 × 16² = 1792
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:

15 + 144 + 1792 + 20480 = 22431

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.

22431 ÷ 2 = 11215 with 1 remainder
11215 ÷ 2 = 5607 with 1 remainder
5607 ÷ 2 = 2803 with 1 remainder
2803 ÷ 2 = 1401 with 1 remainder
1401 ÷ 2 = 700 with 1 remainder
700 ÷ 2 = 350 with 0 remainder
350 ÷ 2 = 175 with 0 remainder
175 ÷ 2 = 87 with 1 remainder
87 ÷ 2 = 43 with 1 remainder
43 ÷ 2 = 21 with 1 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 579F hexadecimal to binary:

579F hexadecimal = 101011110011111 binary
