BA5A hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number BA5A 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 BA5A from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in BA5A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in BA5A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in BA5A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in BA5A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
5 × 16¹ = 80
A × 16² = 2560
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 + 80 + 2560 + 45056 = 47706

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.

47706 ÷ 2 = 23853 with 0 remainder
23853 ÷ 2 = 11926 with 1 remainder
11926 ÷ 2 = 5963 with 0 remainder
5963 ÷ 2 = 2981 with 1 remainder
2981 ÷ 2 = 1490 with 1 remainder
1490 ÷ 2 = 745 with 0 remainder
745 ÷ 2 = 372 with 1 remainder
372 ÷ 2 = 186 with 0 remainder
186 ÷ 2 = 93 with 0 remainder
93 ÷ 2 = 46 with 1 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 BA5A hexadecimal to binary:

BA5A hexadecimal = 1011101001011010 binary
