FCA hexadecimal to binary

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

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

A × 16⁰ = 10
C × 16¹ = 192
F × 16² = 3840

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:

10 + 192 + 3840 = 4042

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.

4042 ÷ 2 = 2021 with 0 remainder
2021 ÷ 2 = 1010 with 1 remainder
1010 ÷ 2 = 505 with 0 remainder
505 ÷ 2 = 252 with 1 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 FCA hexadecimal to binary:

FCA hexadecimal = 111111001010 binary
