Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number BBCC 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 BBCC from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.
Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in BBCC by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in BBCC by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in BBCC by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in BBCC by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.
C × 16⁰ = 12
C × 16¹ = 192
B × 16² = 2816
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 + 192 + 2816 + 45056 = 48076
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.
48076 ÷ 2 = 24038 with 0 remainder
24038 ÷ 2 = 12019 with 0 remainder
12019 ÷ 2 = 6009 with 1 remainder
6009 ÷ 2 = 3004 with 1 remainder
3004 ÷ 2 = 1502 with 0 remainder
1502 ÷ 2 = 751 with 0 remainder
751 ÷ 2 = 375 with 1 remainder
375 ÷ 2 = 187 with 1 remainder
187 ÷ 2 = 93 with 1 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 BBCC hexadecimal to binary:
BBCC hexadecimal = 1011101111001100 binary
