EC40 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number EC40 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 EC40 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in EC40 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in EC40 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in EC40 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in EC40 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

0 × 16⁰ = 0
4 × 16¹ = 64
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:

0 + 64 + 3072 + 57344 = 60480

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.

60480 ÷ 2 = 30240 with 0 remainder
30240 ÷ 2 = 15120 with 0 remainder
15120 ÷ 2 = 7560 with 0 remainder
7560 ÷ 2 = 3780 with 0 remainder
3780 ÷ 2 = 1890 with 0 remainder
1890 ÷ 2 = 945 with 0 remainder
945 ÷ 2 = 472 with 1 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 EC40 hexadecimal to binary:

EC40 hexadecimal = 1110110001000000 binary
