C551 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number C551 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 C551 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in C551 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in C551 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in C551 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in C551 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

1 × 16⁰ = 1
5 × 16¹ = 80
5 × 16² = 1280
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:

1 + 80 + 1280 + 49152 = 50513

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.

50513 ÷ 2 = 25256 with 1 remainder
25256 ÷ 2 = 12628 with 0 remainder
12628 ÷ 2 = 6314 with 0 remainder
6314 ÷ 2 = 3157 with 0 remainder
3157 ÷ 2 = 1578 with 1 remainder
1578 ÷ 2 = 789 with 0 remainder
789 ÷ 2 = 394 with 1 remainder
394 ÷ 2 = 197 with 0 remainder
197 ÷ 2 = 98 with 1 remainder
98 ÷ 2 = 49 with 0 remainder
49 ÷ 2 = 24 with 1 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 C551 hexadecimal to binary:

C551 hexadecimal = 1100010101010001 binary
