DE15 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number DE15 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 DE15 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in DE15 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in DE15 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in DE15 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in DE15 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

5 × 16⁰ = 5
1 × 16¹ = 16
E × 16² = 3584
D × 16³ = 53248

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 + 16 + 3584 + 53248 = 56853

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.

56853 ÷ 2 = 28426 with 1 remainder
28426 ÷ 2 = 14213 with 0 remainder
14213 ÷ 2 = 7106 with 1 remainder
7106 ÷ 2 = 3553 with 0 remainder
3553 ÷ 2 = 1776 with 1 remainder
1776 ÷ 2 = 888 with 0 remainder
888 ÷ 2 = 444 with 0 remainder
444 ÷ 2 = 222 with 0 remainder
222 ÷ 2 = 111 with 0 remainder
111 ÷ 2 = 55 with 1 remainder
55 ÷ 2 = 27 with 1 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 DE15 hexadecimal to binary:

DE15 hexadecimal = 1101111000010101 binary
