E2C1 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number E2C1 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 E2C1 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in E2C1 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in E2C1 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in E2C1 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in E2C1 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

1 × 16⁰ = 1
C × 16¹ = 192
2 × 16² = 512
E × 16³ = 57344

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:

1 + 192 + 512 + 57344 = 58049

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.

58049 ÷ 2 = 29024 with 1 remainder
29024 ÷ 2 = 14512 with 0 remainder
14512 ÷ 2 = 7256 with 0 remainder
7256 ÷ 2 = 3628 with 0 remainder
3628 ÷ 2 = 1814 with 0 remainder
1814 ÷ 2 = 907 with 0 remainder
907 ÷ 2 = 453 with 1 remainder
453 ÷ 2 = 226 with 1 remainder
226 ÷ 2 = 113 with 0 remainder
113 ÷ 2 = 56 with 1 remainder
56 ÷ 2 = 28 with 0 remainder
28 ÷ 2 = 14 with 0 remainder
14 ÷ 2 = 7 with 0 remainder
7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 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 E2C1 hexadecimal to binary:

E2C1 hexadecimal = 1110001011000001 binary
