791F hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 791F 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 791F from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 791F by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 791F by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 791F by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 791F by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

F × 16⁰ = 15
1 × 16¹ = 16
9 × 16² = 2304
7 × 16³ = 28672

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 + 16 + 2304 + 28672 = 31007

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.

31007 ÷ 2 = 15503 with 1 remainder
15503 ÷ 2 = 7751 with 1 remainder
7751 ÷ 2 = 3875 with 1 remainder
3875 ÷ 2 = 1937 with 1 remainder
1937 ÷ 2 = 968 with 1 remainder
968 ÷ 2 = 484 with 0 remainder
484 ÷ 2 = 242 with 0 remainder
242 ÷ 2 = 121 with 0 remainder
121 ÷ 2 = 60 with 1 remainder
60 ÷ 2 = 30 with 0 remainder
30 ÷ 2 = 15 with 0 remainder
15 ÷ 2 = 7 with 1 remainder
7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 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 791F hexadecimal to binary:

791F hexadecimal = 111100100011111 binary
