79A1 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 79A1 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 79A1 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 79A1 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 79A1 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 79A1 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 79A1 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

1 × 16⁰ = 1
A × 16¹ = 160
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:

1 + 160 + 2304 + 28672 = 31137

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.

31137 ÷ 2 = 15568 with 1 remainder
15568 ÷ 2 = 7784 with 0 remainder
7784 ÷ 2 = 3892 with 0 remainder
3892 ÷ 2 = 1946 with 0 remainder
1946 ÷ 2 = 973 with 0 remainder
973 ÷ 2 = 486 with 1 remainder
486 ÷ 2 = 243 with 0 remainder
243 ÷ 2 = 121 with 1 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 79A1 hexadecimal to binary:

79A1 hexadecimal = 111100110100001 binary
