EC3B hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number EC3B 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 EC3B from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in EC3B by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in EC3B by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in EC3B by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in EC3B by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

B × 16⁰ = 11
3 × 16¹ = 48
C × 16² = 3072
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:

11 + 48 + 3072 + 57344 = 60475

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.

60475 ÷ 2 = 30237 with 1 remainder
30237 ÷ 2 = 15118 with 1 remainder
15118 ÷ 2 = 7559 with 0 remainder
7559 ÷ 2 = 3779 with 1 remainder
3779 ÷ 2 = 1889 with 1 remainder
1889 ÷ 2 = 944 with 1 remainder
944 ÷ 2 = 472 with 0 remainder
472 ÷ 2 = 236 with 0 remainder
236 ÷ 2 = 118 with 0 remainder
118 ÷ 2 = 59 with 0 remainder
59 ÷ 2 = 29 with 1 remainder
29 ÷ 2 = 14 with 1 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 EC3B hexadecimal to binary:

EC3B hexadecimal = 1110110000111011 binary
