BC74 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number BC74 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 BC74 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in BC74 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in BC74 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in BC74 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in BC74 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

4 × 16⁰ = 4
7 × 16¹ = 112
C × 16² = 3072
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:

4 + 112 + 3072 + 45056 = 48244

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.

48244 ÷ 2 = 24122 with 0 remainder
24122 ÷ 2 = 12061 with 0 remainder
12061 ÷ 2 = 6030 with 1 remainder
6030 ÷ 2 = 3015 with 0 remainder
3015 ÷ 2 = 1507 with 1 remainder
1507 ÷ 2 = 753 with 1 remainder
753 ÷ 2 = 376 with 1 remainder
376 ÷ 2 = 188 with 0 remainder
188 ÷ 2 = 94 with 0 remainder
94 ÷ 2 = 47 with 0 remainder
47 ÷ 2 = 23 with 1 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 BC74 hexadecimal to binary:

BC74 hexadecimal = 1011110001110100 binary
