FFAA hexadecimal to binary

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

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

A × 16⁰ = 10
A × 16¹ = 160
F × 16² = 3840
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:

10 + 160 + 3840 + 61440 = 65450

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.

65450 ÷ 2 = 32725 with 0 remainder
32725 ÷ 2 = 16362 with 1 remainder
16362 ÷ 2 = 8181 with 0 remainder
8181 ÷ 2 = 4090 with 1 remainder
4090 ÷ 2 = 2045 with 0 remainder
2045 ÷ 2 = 1022 with 1 remainder
1022 ÷ 2 = 511 with 0 remainder
511 ÷ 2 = 255 with 1 remainder
255 ÷ 2 = 127 with 1 remainder
127 ÷ 2 = 63 with 1 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 FFAA hexadecimal to binary:

FFAA hexadecimal = 1111111110101010 binary
