AB6A hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number AB6A 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 AB6A from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in AB6A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in AB6A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in AB6A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in AB6A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
6 × 16¹ = 96
B × 16² = 2816
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:

10 + 96 + 2816 + 40960 = 43882

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.

43882 ÷ 2 = 21941 with 0 remainder
21941 ÷ 2 = 10970 with 1 remainder
10970 ÷ 2 = 5485 with 0 remainder
5485 ÷ 2 = 2742 with 1 remainder
2742 ÷ 2 = 1371 with 0 remainder
1371 ÷ 2 = 685 with 1 remainder
685 ÷ 2 = 342 with 1 remainder
342 ÷ 2 = 171 with 0 remainder
171 ÷ 2 = 85 with 1 remainder
85 ÷ 2 = 42 with 1 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 AB6A hexadecimal to binary:

AB6A hexadecimal = 1010101101101010 binary
