How to Convert Binary to Hexadecimal?

Converting binary to hex is a simple task, follow these steps to convert binary to hex on your own,

  • Divide a binary number into a group of four and note down those numbers
  • Once divided, find out the value of each binary number with four binary characters in hexadecimal
  • Perform the same process for each binary number

Consider the following example for a binary to hex translation. For example, if you want to convert 10110 binary number into a hexadecimal number,

10110 =>

=> 1 0110

=> 16

In this case, the 0110 binary's value in hexadecimal will be 6. So, the final binary to hex conversion for the number 10110 is going to be 16.

Why Binary to Hexadecimal conversion is important?

As most of you know that the hexadecimal number is an advanced representation of a binary number. Both of these numbers are very much similar but there are a lot of differences between these two numbers. The differences are shown below.

  • Bit different
  • A binary is a 2-bit number that includes just zeros and ones while a hexadecimal number is a 16-bit number that includes 0 to 9 and A to F.

  • Memory difference
  • Since binary is a 2-bit number, it needs a long command to describe a command while hexadecimal is a 16-bit so it needs a shorter format to describe the whole command. Not only that but a CPU must have a lot of memory on the disk to store a binary number while it does not need that much amount on the disk to store a hexadecimal number.

Solution

The best solution for this issue is to use both of these numbers for the software. One can use a binary to hex translator in case a server throws a memory issue. Along with that, if a server slows down on a request basis then one can always choose to have binary numbers instead of hexadecimal numbers.

An Amazing Connection Between Binary and Hexadecimal

As mentioned above binary numbers just include zeros and ones hexadecimal numbers are called base-16 numbers which means the Hexadecimal numbers have 16 characters including A, B, C, D, F, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Binary numbers were first invented and then the Hexadecimal. The hexadecimal base-16 numbers are the advanced representation of the binary base 2 number that includes just zeros and ones. All the latest computer systems and electronic programming use hexadecimal numbers instead of binary numbers. All the latest systems have processors that are multi-taskers and they can run multiple applications and programs at the same time without any delays. For that reason, systems today use hex numbers and not binary zeros and ones. However, if you are a student and want to learn about the numbering system then you should avoid using hexadecimal numbers for your programs and prefer to use binary. Because most students do not have access to powerful systems in this situation, you should always consider using binary instead of hexadecimal numbers.
