C56A hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number C56A 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 C56A from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in C56A by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in C56A by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in C56A by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in C56A by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

A × 16⁰ = 10
6 × 16¹ = 96
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:

10 + 96 + 1280 + 49152 = 50538

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.

50538 ÷ 2 = 25269 with 0 remainder
25269 ÷ 2 = 12634 with 1 remainder
12634 ÷ 2 = 6317 with 0 remainder
6317 ÷ 2 = 3158 with 1 remainder
3158 ÷ 2 = 1579 with 0 remainder
1579 ÷ 2 = 789 with 1 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 C56A hexadecimal to binary:

C56A hexadecimal = 1100010101101010 binary
