8AA6 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 8AA6 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 8AA6 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 8AA6 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 8AA6 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 8AA6 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 8AA6 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

6 × 16⁰ = 6
A × 16¹ = 160
A × 16² = 2560
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:

6 + 160 + 2560 + 32768 = 35494

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.

35494 ÷ 2 = 17747 with 0 remainder
17747 ÷ 2 = 8873 with 1 remainder
8873 ÷ 2 = 4436 with 1 remainder
4436 ÷ 2 = 2218 with 0 remainder
2218 ÷ 2 = 1109 with 0 remainder
1109 ÷ 2 = 554 with 1 remainder
554 ÷ 2 = 277 with 0 remainder
277 ÷ 2 = 138 with 1 remainder
138 ÷ 2 = 69 with 0 remainder
69 ÷ 2 = 34 with 1 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 8AA6 hexadecimal to binary:

8AA6 hexadecimal = 1000101010100110 binary
