ACA8 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number ACA8 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 ACA8 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in ACA8 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in ACA8 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in ACA8 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in ACA8 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

8 × 16⁰ = 8
A × 16¹ = 160
C × 16² = 3072
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 + 160 + 3072 + 40960 = 44200

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.

44200 ÷ 2 = 22100 with 0 remainder
22100 ÷ 2 = 11050 with 0 remainder
11050 ÷ 2 = 5525 with 0 remainder
5525 ÷ 2 = 2762 with 1 remainder
2762 ÷ 2 = 1381 with 0 remainder
1381 ÷ 2 = 690 with 1 remainder
690 ÷ 2 = 345 with 0 remainder
345 ÷ 2 = 172 with 1 remainder
172 ÷ 2 = 86 with 0 remainder
86 ÷ 2 = 43 with 0 remainder
43 ÷ 2 = 21 with 1 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 ACA8 hexadecimal to binary:

ACA8 hexadecimal = 1010110010101000 binary
