8740 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 8740 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 8740 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 8740 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 8740 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 8740 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 8740 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

0 × 16⁰ = 0
4 × 16¹ = 64
7 × 16² = 1792
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 + 64 + 1792 + 32768 = 34624

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.

34624 ÷ 2 = 17312 with 0 remainder
17312 ÷ 2 = 8656 with 0 remainder
8656 ÷ 2 = 4328 with 0 remainder
4328 ÷ 2 = 2164 with 0 remainder
2164 ÷ 2 = 1082 with 0 remainder
1082 ÷ 2 = 541 with 0 remainder
541 ÷ 2 = 270 with 1 remainder
270 ÷ 2 = 135 with 0 remainder
135 ÷ 2 = 67 with 1 remainder
67 ÷ 2 = 33 with 1 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 8740 hexadecimal to binary:

8740 hexadecimal = 1000011101000000 binary
