CCA9 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number CCA9 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 CCA9 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in CCA9 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in CCA9 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in CCA9 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in CCA9 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

9 × 16⁰ = 9
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:

9 + 160 + 3072 + 49152 = 52393

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.

52393 ÷ 2 = 26196 with 1 remainder
26196 ÷ 2 = 13098 with 0 remainder
13098 ÷ 2 = 6549 with 0 remainder
6549 ÷ 2 = 3274 with 1 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 CCA9 hexadecimal to binary:

CCA9 hexadecimal = 1100110010101001 binary
