F862 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number F862 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 F862 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in F862 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in F862 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in F862 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in F862 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

2 × 16⁰ = 2
6 × 16¹ = 96
8 × 16² = 2048
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:

2 + 96 + 2048 + 61440 = 63586

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.

63586 ÷ 2 = 31793 with 0 remainder
31793 ÷ 2 = 15896 with 1 remainder
15896 ÷ 2 = 7948 with 0 remainder
7948 ÷ 2 = 3974 with 0 remainder
3974 ÷ 2 = 1987 with 0 remainder
1987 ÷ 2 = 993 with 1 remainder
993 ÷ 2 = 496 with 1 remainder
496 ÷ 2 = 248 with 0 remainder
248 ÷ 2 = 124 with 0 remainder
124 ÷ 2 = 62 with 0 remainder
62 ÷ 2 = 31 with 0 remainder
31 ÷ 2 = 15 with 1 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 F862 hexadecimal to binary:

F862 hexadecimal = 1111100001100010 binary
