5A96 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 5A96 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 5A96 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 5A96 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 5A96 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 5A96 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 5A96 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

6 × 16⁰ = 6
9 × 16¹ = 144
A × 16² = 2560
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:

6 + 144 + 2560 + 20480 = 23190

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.

23190 ÷ 2 = 11595 with 0 remainder
11595 ÷ 2 = 5797 with 1 remainder
5797 ÷ 2 = 2898 with 1 remainder
2898 ÷ 2 = 1449 with 0 remainder
1449 ÷ 2 = 724 with 1 remainder
724 ÷ 2 = 362 with 0 remainder
362 ÷ 2 = 181 with 0 remainder
181 ÷ 2 = 90 with 1 remainder
90 ÷ 2 = 45 with 0 remainder
45 ÷ 2 = 22 with 1 remainder
22 ÷ 2 = 11 with 0 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 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 5A96 hexadecimal to binary:

5A96 hexadecimal = 101101010010110 binary
