968A hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number 968A 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 968A from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in 968A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in 968A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in 968A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in 968A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
8 × 16¹ = 128
6 × 16² = 1536
9 × 16³ = 36864

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:

10 + 128 + 1536 + 36864 = 38538

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.

38538 ÷ 2 = 19269 with 0 remainder
19269 ÷ 2 = 9634 with 1 remainder
9634 ÷ 2 = 4817 with 0 remainder
4817 ÷ 2 = 2408 with 1 remainder
2408 ÷ 2 = 1204 with 0 remainder
1204 ÷ 2 = 602 with 0 remainder
602 ÷ 2 = 301 with 0 remainder
301 ÷ 2 = 150 with 1 remainder
150 ÷ 2 = 75 with 0 remainder
75 ÷ 2 = 37 with 1 remainder
37 ÷ 2 = 18 with 1 remainder
18 ÷ 2 = 9 with 0 remainder
9 ÷ 2 = 4 with 1 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 968A hexadecimal to binary:

968A hexadecimal = 1001011010001010 binary
