Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number A9F8 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 A9F8 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.
Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in A9F8 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in A9F8 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in A9F8 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in A9F8 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.
8 × 16⁰ = 8
F × 16¹ = 240
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 + 240 + 2304 + 40960 = 43512
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.
43512 ÷ 2 = 21756 with 0 remainder
21756 ÷ 2 = 10878 with 0 remainder
10878 ÷ 2 = 5439 with 0 remainder
5439 ÷ 2 = 2719 with 1 remainder
2719 ÷ 2 = 1359 with 1 remainder
1359 ÷ 2 = 679 with 1 remainder
679 ÷ 2 = 339 with 1 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 A9F8 hexadecimal to binary:
A9F8 hexadecimal = 1010100111111000 binary
