CCA3 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number CCA3 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 CCA3 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in CCA3 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in CCA3 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in CCA3 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in CCA3 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

3 × 16⁰ = 3
A × 16¹ = 160
C × 16² = 3072
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:

3 + 160 + 3072 + 49152 = 52387

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.

52387 ÷ 2 = 26193 with 1 remainder
26193 ÷ 2 = 13096 with 1 remainder
13096 ÷ 2 = 6548 with 0 remainder
6548 ÷ 2 = 3274 with 0 remainder
3274 ÷ 2 = 1637 with 0 remainder
1637 ÷ 2 = 818 with 1 remainder
818 ÷ 2 = 409 with 0 remainder
409 ÷ 2 = 204 with 1 remainder
204 ÷ 2 = 102 with 0 remainder
102 ÷ 2 = 51 with 0 remainder
51 ÷ 2 = 25 with 1 remainder
25 ÷ 2 = 12 with 1 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 CCA3 hexadecimal to binary:

CCA3 hexadecimal = 1100110010100011 binary
