A6DF hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number A6DF 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 A6DF from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in A6DF by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in A6DF by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in A6DF by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in A6DF by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

F × 16⁰ = 15
D × 16¹ = 208
6 × 16² = 1536
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:

15 + 208 + 1536 + 40960 = 42719

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.

42719 ÷ 2 = 21359 with 1 remainder
21359 ÷ 2 = 10679 with 1 remainder
10679 ÷ 2 = 5339 with 1 remainder
5339 ÷ 2 = 2669 with 1 remainder
2669 ÷ 2 = 1334 with 1 remainder
1334 ÷ 2 = 667 with 0 remainder
667 ÷ 2 = 333 with 1 remainder
333 ÷ 2 = 166 with 1 remainder
166 ÷ 2 = 83 with 0 remainder
83 ÷ 2 = 41 with 1 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 A6DF hexadecimal to binary:

A6DF hexadecimal = 1010011011011111 binary
