DE3E hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number DE3E 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 DE3E from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in DE3E by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in DE3E by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in DE3E by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in DE3E by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

E × 16⁰ = 14
3 × 16¹ = 48
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:

14 + 48 + 3584 + 53248 = 56894

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.

56894 ÷ 2 = 28447 with 0 remainder
28447 ÷ 2 = 14223 with 1 remainder
14223 ÷ 2 = 7111 with 1 remainder
7111 ÷ 2 = 3555 with 1 remainder
3555 ÷ 2 = 1777 with 1 remainder
1777 ÷ 2 = 888 with 1 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 DE3E hexadecimal to binary:

DE3E hexadecimal = 1101111000111110 binary
