A2CB hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number A2CB 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 A2CB from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in A2CB by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in A2CB by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in A2CB by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in A2CB by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
C × 16¹ = 192
2 × 16² = 512
A × 16³ = 40960

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:

11 + 192 + 512 + 40960 = 41675

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.

41675 ÷ 2 = 20837 with 1 remainder
20837 ÷ 2 = 10418 with 1 remainder
10418 ÷ 2 = 5209 with 0 remainder
5209 ÷ 2 = 2604 with 1 remainder
2604 ÷ 2 = 1302 with 0 remainder
1302 ÷ 2 = 651 with 0 remainder
651 ÷ 2 = 325 with 1 remainder
325 ÷ 2 = 162 with 1 remainder
162 ÷ 2 = 81 with 0 remainder
81 ÷ 2 = 40 with 1 remainder
40 ÷ 2 = 20 with 0 remainder
20 ÷ 2 = 10 with 0 remainder
10 ÷ 2 = 5 with 0 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 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 A2CB hexadecimal to binary:

A2CB hexadecimal = 1010001011001011 binary
