LAB 3 Binary-Hexadecimal Notes

Hexadecimal represents numbers in base 16 using the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F. It is commonly used to represent binary numbers in a more compact form by grouping the binary digits into groups of four. The document provides examples of converting between binary, hexadecimal, and decimal number representations. Key steps include separating binary numbers into groups of 4 and representing each group with its hexadecimal digit equivalent. Prefixes like 0x indicate a number is in hexadecimal form.

Binary-Hexadecimal Worksheet 1

Hexadecimal is base-16 (16=24 digits so 4 bits per digit)

 Our ten decimal digits aren't enough, so we add 6 new ones:


0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F

 0110-0101-1000-1011-0000-1101b =658B0Dh

 Because we constantly slip between binary and hex, we have a


special marker for it

 Prefix with '0x' (zero-x). So 0x658B0D=6654733d , 0x123=291d

From Binary to Hexadecimal


Starting at the binary point and working left, separate the bits into
groups of four and replace each group with the corresponding
hexadecimal digit.

100010112 = 1000 1011 = 8B16

From Octal to Binary


Replace each octal digit with the corresponding 3-bit binary string.
2138 = 010 001 011 = 100010112

From Hexadecimal to Binary


Replace each hexadecimal digit with the corresponding 4-bit binary
string.

8B16 = 1000 1011 = 100010112

Conversions: Hexadecimal  Binary  Decimal


There are two ways to convert between Base 16 or Base 8 … and Decimal.

Method 1: Convert to Binary, then Decimal:

0x1af = 0001 1010 1111

= 28 + 2 7 + 25 + 23 + 22 + 21 + 20

= 256 + 128 + 32 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1

= 43110

0x456 = 0100 0101 0110 = 210+26+24+22+21 = 1024 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 2 = 111010

Method 2: Use division remainders:

Convert from base 10 to base N (Example base 2):

Number / 2 -> remainder is digit0

-> quotient / 2 -> remainder is digit1

-> quotient / 2 -> remainder is digit2

…
Binary-Hexadecimal Worksheet 4

Example 1: Convert 3610 into binary:

Quotient/2 ->Remainder

36/2 ->0

18/2 ->0

9/2 ->1

4/2 ->0

2/2 ->0

1/2 ->1

3610 = 1001002

Example 2: Convert 3610 into base 16:

36/16 ->4

2/16 ->2

3610 = 2416

Example 3: Convert 0x1af to base 10:

0x1af = 1 x 162 = = 256

a x 16 = 10 x 16 = 160

f = +15

Total = 43110

Now you try some conversions between base 16 and base 10 (Your choice of method!)

0x AC4= 0x C4A=

4310= 16210=

More Examples

Example 1: What is 4B5 (Hexadecimal)?

 The "4" is in the "16×16" position, so that means 4 ×16×16


 The "B" (11) is in the "16" position, so that means 11 ×16
 The "5" is in the "1" position so that means 5.
 Answer: 4B5 = 4×16×16 + 11×16 + 5 (=1205) in Decimal
