AD5C hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number AD5C 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 AD5C from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in AD5C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in AD5C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in AD5C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in AD5C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
5 × 16¹ = 80
D × 16² = 3328
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:

12 + 80 + 3328 + 40960 = 44380

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.

44380 ÷ 2 = 22190 with 0 remainder
22190 ÷ 2 = 11095 with 0 remainder
11095 ÷ 2 = 5547 with 1 remainder
5547 ÷ 2 = 2773 with 1 remainder
2773 ÷ 2 = 1386 with 1 remainder
1386 ÷ 2 = 693 with 0 remainder
693 ÷ 2 = 346 with 1 remainder
346 ÷ 2 = 173 with 0 remainder
173 ÷ 2 = 86 with 1 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 AD5C hexadecimal to binary:

AD5C hexadecimal = 1010110101011100 binary
