8855 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 8855 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 8855 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 8855 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 8855 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 8855 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 8855 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

5 × 16⁰ = 5
5 × 16¹ = 80
8 × 16² = 2048
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 + 80 + 2048 + 32768 = 34901

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.

34901 ÷ 2 = 17450 with 1 remainder
17450 ÷ 2 = 8725 with 0 remainder
8725 ÷ 2 = 4362 with 1 remainder
4362 ÷ 2 = 2181 with 0 remainder
2181 ÷ 2 = 1090 with 1 remainder
1090 ÷ 2 = 545 with 0 remainder
545 ÷ 2 = 272 with 1 remainder
272 ÷ 2 = 136 with 0 remainder
136 ÷ 2 = 68 with 0 remainder
68 ÷ 2 = 34 with 0 remainder
34 ÷ 2 = 17 with 0 remainder
17 ÷ 2 = 8 with 1 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 8855 hexadecimal to binary:

8855 hexadecimal = 1000100001010101 binary
