D85 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number D85 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 D85 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in D85 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in D85 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in D85 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in D85 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

5 × 16⁰ = 5
8 × 16¹ = 128
D × 16² = 3328

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:

5 + 128 + 3328 = 3461

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.

3461 ÷ 2 = 1730 with 1 remainder
1730 ÷ 2 = 865 with 0 remainder
865 ÷ 2 = 432 with 1 remainder
432 ÷ 2 = 216 with 0 remainder
216 ÷ 2 = 108 with 0 remainder
108 ÷ 2 = 54 with 0 remainder
54 ÷ 2 = 27 with 0 remainder
27 ÷ 2 = 13 with 1 remainder
13 ÷ 2 = 6 with 1 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 D85 hexadecimal to binary:

D85 hexadecimal = 110110000101 binary
