6EC3 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 6EC3 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 6EC3 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 6EC3 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 6EC3 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 6EC3 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 6EC3 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

3 × 16⁰ = 3
C × 16¹ = 192
E × 16² = 3584
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:

3 + 192 + 3584 + 24576 = 28355

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.

28355 ÷ 2 = 14177 with 1 remainder
14177 ÷ 2 = 7088 with 1 remainder
7088 ÷ 2 = 3544 with 0 remainder
3544 ÷ 2 = 1772 with 0 remainder
1772 ÷ 2 = 886 with 0 remainder
886 ÷ 2 = 443 with 0 remainder
443 ÷ 2 = 221 with 1 remainder
221 ÷ 2 = 110 with 1 remainder
110 ÷ 2 = 55 with 0 remainder
55 ÷ 2 = 27 with 1 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 6EC3 hexadecimal to binary:

6EC3 hexadecimal = 110111011000011 binary
