B8FA hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number B8FA 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 B8FA from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in B8FA by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in B8FA by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in B8FA by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in B8FA by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
F × 16¹ = 240
8 × 16² = 2048
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 + 240 + 2048 + 45056 = 47354

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.

47354 ÷ 2 = 23677 with 0 remainder
23677 ÷ 2 = 11838 with 1 remainder
11838 ÷ 2 = 5919 with 0 remainder
5919 ÷ 2 = 2959 with 1 remainder
2959 ÷ 2 = 1479 with 1 remainder
1479 ÷ 2 = 739 with 1 remainder
739 ÷ 2 = 369 with 1 remainder
369 ÷ 2 = 184 with 1 remainder
184 ÷ 2 = 92 with 0 remainder
92 ÷ 2 = 46 with 0 remainder
46 ÷ 2 = 23 with 0 remainder
23 ÷ 2 = 11 with 1 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 B8FA hexadecimal to binary:

B8FA hexadecimal = 1011100011111010 binary
