6DEF hexadecimal to binary

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

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

F × 16⁰ = 15
E × 16¹ = 224
D × 16² = 3328
6 × 16³ = 24576

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 + 224 + 3328 + 24576 = 28143

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.

28143 ÷ 2 = 14071 with 1 remainder
14071 ÷ 2 = 7035 with 1 remainder
7035 ÷ 2 = 3517 with 1 remainder
3517 ÷ 2 = 1758 with 1 remainder
1758 ÷ 2 = 879 with 0 remainder
879 ÷ 2 = 439 with 1 remainder
439 ÷ 2 = 219 with 1 remainder
219 ÷ 2 = 109 with 1 remainder
109 ÷ 2 = 54 with 1 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 6DEF hexadecimal to binary:

6DEF hexadecimal = 110110111101111 binary
