How to convert Binary to HexA binary number is a number expressed in the base-2 numeral system or binary numeral system, which uses only two symbols: typically "0" and "1". The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Each digit is referred to as a bit. Because of its straightforward implementation in digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, the binary system is used by almost all modern computers and computer-based devices.
Hexadecimal is a positional system that represents numbers using a base of 16. Unlike the common way of representing numbers with ten symbols, it uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"-"9" to represent values zero to nine, and "A"-"F" to represent values ten to fifteen. Hexadecimal numerals are widely used by computer system designers and programmers, as they provide a human-friendly representation of binary-coded values.
Follow these steps to convert a binary number into hexadecimal form:
- Start from the right side of the binary number and divide it up into groups of 4 digits. Add extra zeros to the front of the first number if it is not four digits.
- Convert each group of 4 binary digits to its equivalent hex value from the conversion table below.
- Concatenate the results together. This is the solution.
