8C7D hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 8C7D 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 8C7D from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 8C7D by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 8C7D by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 8C7D by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 8C7D by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

D × 16⁰ = 13
7 × 16¹ = 112
C × 16² = 3072
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:

13 + 112 + 3072 + 32768 = 35965

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.

35965 ÷ 2 = 17982 with 1 remainder
17982 ÷ 2 = 8991 with 0 remainder
8991 ÷ 2 = 4495 with 1 remainder
4495 ÷ 2 = 2247 with 1 remainder
2247 ÷ 2 = 1123 with 1 remainder
1123 ÷ 2 = 561 with 1 remainder
561 ÷ 2 = 280 with 1 remainder
280 ÷ 2 = 140 with 0 remainder
140 ÷ 2 = 70 with 0 remainder
70 ÷ 2 = 35 with 0 remainder
35 ÷ 2 = 17 with 1 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 8C7D hexadecimal to binary:

8C7D hexadecimal = 1000110001111101 binary
