B6CA hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number B6CA 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 B6CA from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in B6CA by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in B6CA by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in B6CA by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in B6CA by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
C × 16¹ = 192
6 × 16² = 1536
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:

10 + 192 + 1536 + 45056 = 46794

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.

46794 ÷ 2 = 23397 with 0 remainder
23397 ÷ 2 = 11698 with 1 remainder
11698 ÷ 2 = 5849 with 0 remainder
5849 ÷ 2 = 2924 with 1 remainder
2924 ÷ 2 = 1462 with 0 remainder
1462 ÷ 2 = 731 with 0 remainder
731 ÷ 2 = 365 with 1 remainder
365 ÷ 2 = 182 with 1 remainder
182 ÷ 2 = 91 with 0 remainder
91 ÷ 2 = 45 with 1 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 B6CA hexadecimal to binary:

B6CA hexadecimal = 1011011011001010 binary
