B5FE hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number B5FE 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 B5FE from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in B5FE by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in B5FE by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in B5FE by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in B5FE by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

E × 16⁰ = 14
F × 16¹ = 240
5 × 16² = 1280
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:

14 + 240 + 1280 + 45056 = 46590

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.

46590 ÷ 2 = 23295 with 0 remainder
23295 ÷ 2 = 11647 with 1 remainder
11647 ÷ 2 = 5823 with 1 remainder
5823 ÷ 2 = 2911 with 1 remainder
2911 ÷ 2 = 1455 with 1 remainder
1455 ÷ 2 = 727 with 1 remainder
727 ÷ 2 = 363 with 1 remainder
363 ÷ 2 = 181 with 1 remainder
181 ÷ 2 = 90 with 1 remainder
90 ÷ 2 = 45 with 0 remainder
45 ÷ 2 = 22 with 1 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 B5FE hexadecimal to binary:

B5FE hexadecimal = 1011010111111110 binary
