6C5 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 6C5 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 6C5 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 6C5 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 6C5 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 6C5 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 6C5 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

5 × 16⁰ = 5
C × 16¹ = 192
6 × 16² = 1536

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:

5 + 192 + 1536 = 1733

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.

1733 ÷ 2 = 866 with 1 remainder
866 ÷ 2 = 433 with 0 remainder
433 ÷ 2 = 216 with 1 remainder
216 ÷ 2 = 108 with 0 remainder
108 ÷ 2 = 54 with 0 remainder
54 ÷ 2 = 27 with 0 remainder
27 ÷ 2 = 13 with 1 remainder
13 ÷ 2 = 6 with 1 remainder
6 ÷ 2 = 3 with 0 remainder
3 ÷ 2 = 1 with 1 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 6C5 hexadecimal to binary:

6C5 hexadecimal = 11011000101 binary
