C252 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number C252 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 C252 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in C252 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in C252 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in C252 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in C252 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

2 × 16⁰ = 2
5 × 16¹ = 80
2 × 16² = 512
C × 16³ = 49152

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:

2 + 80 + 512 + 49152 = 49746

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.

49746 ÷ 2 = 24873 with 0 remainder
24873 ÷ 2 = 12436 with 1 remainder
12436 ÷ 2 = 6218 with 0 remainder
6218 ÷ 2 = 3109 with 0 remainder
3109 ÷ 2 = 1554 with 1 remainder
1554 ÷ 2 = 777 with 0 remainder
777 ÷ 2 = 388 with 1 remainder
388 ÷ 2 = 194 with 0 remainder
194 ÷ 2 = 97 with 0 remainder
97 ÷ 2 = 48 with 1 remainder
48 ÷ 2 = 24 with 0 remainder
24 ÷ 2 = 12 with 0 remainder
12 ÷ 2 = 6 with 0 remainder
6 ÷ 2 = 3 with 0 remainder
3 ÷ 2 = 1 with 1 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 C252 hexadecimal to binary:

C252 hexadecimal = 1100001001010010 binary
