6FAF hexadecimal to binary

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

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

F × 16⁰ = 15
A × 16¹ = 160
F × 16² = 3840
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 + 160 + 3840 + 24576 = 28591

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.

28591 ÷ 2 = 14295 with 1 remainder
14295 ÷ 2 = 7147 with 1 remainder
7147 ÷ 2 = 3573 with 1 remainder
3573 ÷ 2 = 1786 with 1 remainder
1786 ÷ 2 = 893 with 0 remainder
893 ÷ 2 = 446 with 1 remainder
446 ÷ 2 = 223 with 0 remainder
223 ÷ 2 = 111 with 1 remainder
111 ÷ 2 = 55 with 1 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 6FAF hexadecimal to binary:

6FAF hexadecimal = 110111110101111 binary
