A998 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number A998 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 A998 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in A998 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in A998 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in A998 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in A998 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

8 × 16⁰ = 8
9 × 16¹ = 144
9 × 16² = 2304
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:

8 + 144 + 2304 + 40960 = 43416

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.

43416 ÷ 2 = 21708 with 0 remainder
21708 ÷ 2 = 10854 with 0 remainder
10854 ÷ 2 = 5427 with 0 remainder
5427 ÷ 2 = 2713 with 1 remainder
2713 ÷ 2 = 1356 with 1 remainder
1356 ÷ 2 = 678 with 0 remainder
678 ÷ 2 = 339 with 0 remainder
339 ÷ 2 = 169 with 1 remainder
169 ÷ 2 = 84 with 1 remainder
84 ÷ 2 = 42 with 0 remainder
42 ÷ 2 = 21 with 0 remainder
21 ÷ 2 = 10 with 1 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 A998 hexadecimal to binary:

A998 hexadecimal = 1010100110011000 binary
