BA5C hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number BA5C 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 BA5C from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in BA5C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in BA5C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in BA5C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in BA5C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
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:

12 + 80 + 2560 + 45056 = 47708

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.

47708 ÷ 2 = 23854 with 0 remainder
23854 ÷ 2 = 11927 with 0 remainder
11927 ÷ 2 = 5963 with 1 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 BA5C hexadecimal to binary:

BA5C hexadecimal = 1011101001011100 binary
