81B5 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 81B5 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 81B5 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 81B5 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 81B5 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 81B5 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 81B5 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

5 × 16⁰ = 5
B × 16¹ = 176
1 × 16² = 256
8 × 16³ = 32768

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:

5 + 176 + 256 + 32768 = 33205

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.

33205 ÷ 2 = 16602 with 1 remainder
16602 ÷ 2 = 8301 with 0 remainder
8301 ÷ 2 = 4150 with 1 remainder
4150 ÷ 2 = 2075 with 0 remainder
2075 ÷ 2 = 1037 with 1 remainder
1037 ÷ 2 = 518 with 1 remainder
518 ÷ 2 = 259 with 0 remainder
259 ÷ 2 = 129 with 1 remainder
129 ÷ 2 = 64 with 1 remainder
64 ÷ 2 = 32 with 0 remainder
32 ÷ 2 = 16 with 0 remainder
16 ÷ 2 = 8 with 0 remainder
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with 0 remainder
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with 0 remainder
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with 0 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 81B5 hexadecimal to binary:

81B5 hexadecimal = 1000000110110101 binary
