A42E hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number A42E 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 A42E from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in A42E by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in A42E by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in A42E by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in A42E by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

E × 16⁰ = 14
2 × 16¹ = 32
4 × 16² = 1024
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:

14 + 32 + 1024 + 40960 = 42030

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.

42030 ÷ 2 = 21015 with 0 remainder
21015 ÷ 2 = 10507 with 1 remainder
10507 ÷ 2 = 5253 with 1 remainder
5253 ÷ 2 = 2626 with 1 remainder
2626 ÷ 2 = 1313 with 0 remainder
1313 ÷ 2 = 656 with 1 remainder
656 ÷ 2 = 328 with 0 remainder
328 ÷ 2 = 164 with 0 remainder
164 ÷ 2 = 82 with 0 remainder
82 ÷ 2 = 41 with 0 remainder
41 ÷ 2 = 20 with 1 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 A42E hexadecimal to binary:

A42E hexadecimal = 1010010000101110 binary
