8400 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 8400 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 8400 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 8400 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 8400 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 8400 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 8400 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

0 × 16⁰ = 0
0 × 16¹ = 0
4 × 16² = 1024
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:

0 + 0 + 1024 + 32768 = 33792

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.

33792 ÷ 2 = 16896 with 0 remainder
16896 ÷ 2 = 8448 with 0 remainder
8448 ÷ 2 = 4224 with 0 remainder
4224 ÷ 2 = 2112 with 0 remainder
2112 ÷ 2 = 1056 with 0 remainder
1056 ÷ 2 = 528 with 0 remainder
528 ÷ 2 = 264 with 0 remainder
264 ÷ 2 = 132 with 0 remainder
132 ÷ 2 = 66 with 0 remainder
66 ÷ 2 = 33 with 0 remainder
33 ÷ 2 = 16 with 1 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 8400 hexadecimal to binary:

8400 hexadecimal = 1000010000000000 binary
