Information on Number Conversion

A number system is a method of expressing numbers in a consistent manner using digits and numbers. There are different number system like, Decimal, Binary, Octal, Hexadecimal. These different number systems are used in different contexts.

Binary Number System

Binary number system is a base 2 number system. It uses only two digits, 0 and 1. The position of each digit in a binary number denotes the power of 2. The rightmost digit is the ones place, the next digit to the left is the twos place, the next digit to the left is the fours place, and so on.

An example of a binary number is
10112 = 1×23 + 0×22 + 1×21 + 1×20

Hexadecimal Number System

Hexadecimal number system is a base 16 number system. It uses 16 digits from 0 to 9 and A to F. The position of each digit in a hexadecimal number denotes the power of 16. The rightmost digit is the ones place, the next digit to the left is the sixteens place, the next digit to the left is the two hundred fifty-six place, and so on.

An example of a hexadecimal number is
123416 = 1×163 + 2×162 + 3×161 + 4×160

How to convert Hexadecimal to Binary?

Step 1: Write down the hexadecimal number: 3EF16

Step 2: Write down the binary equivalent of each hexadecimal digit: 3 = 0011, E = 1110, F = 1111

Step 3: Combine all the binary digits to get the binary equivalent of the hexadecimal number: 3EF16 = 0011 1110 11112

Therefore, 3EF16 = 0011 1110 11112

Example: Convert 1A216 to (?)2

Step 1: Write down the hexadecimal number: 1A216

Step 2: Write down the binary equivalent of each hexadecimal digit: 1 = 0001, A = 1010, 2 = 0010

Step 3: Combine all the binary digits to get the binary equivalent of the hexadecimal number: 1A216 = 0001 1010 00102

Therefore, 1A216 = 0001 1010 00102
