B396 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number B396 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 B396 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in B396 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in B396 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in B396 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in B396 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

6 × 16⁰ = 6
9 × 16¹ = 144
3 × 16² = 768
B × 16³ = 45056

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:

6 + 144 + 768 + 45056 = 45974

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.

45974 ÷ 2 = 22987 with 0 remainder
22987 ÷ 2 = 11493 with 1 remainder
11493 ÷ 2 = 5746 with 1 remainder
5746 ÷ 2 = 2873 with 0 remainder
2873 ÷ 2 = 1436 with 1 remainder
1436 ÷ 2 = 718 with 0 remainder
718 ÷ 2 = 359 with 0 remainder
359 ÷ 2 = 179 with 1 remainder
179 ÷ 2 = 89 with 1 remainder
89 ÷ 2 = 44 with 1 remainder
44 ÷ 2 = 22 with 0 remainder
22 ÷ 2 = 11 with 0 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 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 B396 hexadecimal to binary:

B396 hexadecimal = 1011001110010110 binary
