FC01 hexadecimal to binary

Here we will show you how to convert the hexadecimal number FC01 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 FC01 from hexadecimal to binary are explained below.

Step 1)
Multiply the last digit in FC01 by 16⁰, multiply the second to last digit in FC01 by 16¹, multiply the third to last digit in FC01 by 16², multiply the fourth to last digit in FC01 by 16³, and so on, until all the digits are used.

1 × 16⁰ = 1
0 × 16¹ = 0
C × 16² = 3072
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:

1 + 0 + 3072 + 61440 = 64513

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.

64513 ÷ 2 = 32256 with 1 remainder
32256 ÷ 2 = 16128 with 0 remainder
16128 ÷ 2 = 8064 with 0 remainder
8064 ÷ 2 = 4032 with 0 remainder
4032 ÷ 2 = 2016 with 0 remainder
2016 ÷ 2 = 1008 with 0 remainder
1008 ÷ 2 = 504 with 0 remainder
504 ÷ 2 = 252 with 0 remainder
252 ÷ 2 = 126 with 0 remainder
126 ÷ 2 = 63 with 0 remainder
63 ÷ 2 = 31 with 1 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 FC01 hexadecimal to binary:

FC01 hexadecimal = 1111110000000001 binary
