F086 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number F086 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 F086 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in F086 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in F086 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in F086 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in F086 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

6 × 16⁰ = 6
8 × 16¹ = 128
0 × 16² = 0
F × 16³ = 61440

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:

6 + 128 + 0 + 61440 = 61574

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.

61574 ÷ 2 = 30787 with 0 remainder
30787 ÷ 2 = 15393 with 1 remainder
15393 ÷ 2 = 7696 with 1 remainder
7696 ÷ 2 = 3848 with 0 remainder
3848 ÷ 2 = 1924 with 0 remainder
1924 ÷ 2 = 962 with 0 remainder
962 ÷ 2 = 481 with 0 remainder
481 ÷ 2 = 240 with 1 remainder
240 ÷ 2 = 120 with 0 remainder
120 ÷ 2 = 60 with 0 remainder
60 ÷ 2 = 30 with 0 remainder
30 ÷ 2 = 15 with 0 remainder
15 ÷ 2 = 7 with 1 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 F086 hexadecimal to binary:

F086 hexadecimal = 1111000010000110 binary
