A56B hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number A56B 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 A56B from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in A56B by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in A56B by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in A56B by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in A56B by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
6 × 16¹ = 96
5 × 16² = 1280
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 + 96 + 1280 + 40960 = 42347

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.

42347 ÷ 2 = 21173 with 1 remainder
21173 ÷ 2 = 10586 with 1 remainder
10586 ÷ 2 = 5293 with 0 remainder
5293 ÷ 2 = 2646 with 1 remainder
2646 ÷ 2 = 1323 with 0 remainder
1323 ÷ 2 = 661 with 1 remainder
661 ÷ 2 = 330 with 1 remainder
330 ÷ 2 = 165 with 0 remainder
165 ÷ 2 = 82 with 1 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 A56B hexadecimal to binary:

A56B hexadecimal = 1010010101101011 binary
