Convert Hexadecimal to Binary

In order to convert a hexadecimal number to a binary number, you need to follow these steps.

  • First, separate each hexadecimal number
  • Once separated, find out the value of that hexadecimal number in binary

Consider the following example for a precise hexadecimal to decimal conversion understanding.

16 16 into binary =>

=> 1 6

=> 0001 0110

=> 00010110

So, the final conversion of 16 hexadecimal to binary numbers will be 00010110. You can check the answer with our tool above.

What is a Hex Number?

A hexadecimal number is a base-16 number and it is nothing but the advanced version of binary number that is a base-2 number. The hexadecimal numbers include A, B, C, D, E, F, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. At the same time, a binary number includes just zeros and ones as it is a base-2 number. The representation of a command in computer organization is very long and it requires a lot of space in the memory. At the same time, the representation of a command in the hexadecimal number is short and simple and it does not require much space in the memory compared to the binary number.

Importance of Hexadecimal to Binary Conversion

The hex to binary conversion is required for the older systems that were programmed to use binary numbers. Today, the usage of any kind of machine has increased rapidly, and implementing binary numbers is making the system slower. For that reason, engineers and software programmers need to shift from binary to hexadecimal. A hexadecimal representation can handle a lot of requests from the systems. Implementing this hexadecimal system does compromise on the speed and performs best when used with any kind of advanced programming language.
