889F hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 889F 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 889F from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 889F by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 889F by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 889F by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 889F by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

F × 16⁰ = 15
9 × 16¹ = 144
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:

15 + 144 + 2048 + 32768 = 34975

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.

34975 ÷ 2 = 17487 with 1 remainder
17487 ÷ 2 = 8743 with 1 remainder
8743 ÷ 2 = 4371 with 1 remainder
4371 ÷ 2 = 2185 with 1 remainder
2185 ÷ 2 = 1092 with 1 remainder
1092 ÷ 2 = 546 with 0 remainder
546 ÷ 2 = 273 with 0 remainder
273 ÷ 2 = 136 with 1 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 889F hexadecimal to binary:

889F hexadecimal = 1000100010011111 binary
