DE9C hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number DE9C 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 DE9C from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in DE9C by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in DE9C by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in DE9C by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in DE9C by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

C × 16⁰ = 12
9 × 16¹ = 144
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:

12 + 144 + 3584 + 53248 = 56988

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.

56988 ÷ 2 = 28494 with 0 remainder
28494 ÷ 2 = 14247 with 0 remainder
14247 ÷ 2 = 7123 with 1 remainder
7123 ÷ 2 = 3561 with 1 remainder
3561 ÷ 2 = 1780 with 1 remainder
1780 ÷ 2 = 890 with 0 remainder
890 ÷ 2 = 445 with 0 remainder
445 ÷ 2 = 222 with 1 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 DE9C hexadecimal to binary:

DE9C hexadecimal = 1101111010011100 binary
