CD8C hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number CD8C 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 CD8C from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in CD8C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in CD8C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in CD8C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in CD8C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
8 × 16¹ = 128
D × 16² = 3328
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:

12 + 128 + 3328 + 49152 = 52620

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.

52620 ÷ 2 = 26310 with 0 remainder
26310 ÷ 2 = 13155 with 0 remainder
13155 ÷ 2 = 6577 with 1 remainder
6577 ÷ 2 = 3288 with 1 remainder
3288 ÷ 2 = 1644 with 0 remainder
1644 ÷ 2 = 822 with 0 remainder
822 ÷ 2 = 411 with 0 remainder
411 ÷ 2 = 205 with 1 remainder
205 ÷ 2 = 102 with 1 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 CD8C hexadecimal to binary:

CD8C hexadecimal = 1100110110001100 binary
