Hex to Binary Converter - Convert Hexadecimal to Binary Numbers

About Hex to Binary Converter

Our Hex to Binary Converter is a professional online tool that converts hexadecimal (base-16) numbers into their binary (base-2) representation. This advanced hex to binary converter is essential for digital electronics, computer programming, and binary calculations. Whether you're working with memory addresses or digital circuits, this hex to binary converter provides precise and instant conversions with step-by-step visualization.

How Our Hex to Binary Converter Works

The hex to binary conversion process in our converter follows these mathematical principles:

1. Hex to Decimal Conversion:

For a hexadecimal number with n digits:

(d_n...d_1d_0)_{16} = \sum_{i=0}^n d_i \times 16^i

where $d_i$ represents each hexadecimal digit

2. Decimal to Binary Conversion:

Each decimal value is converted to a 4-bit binary number:

(d)_{10} = (b_3b_2b_1b_0)_2 = \sum_{i=0}^3 b_i \times 2^i

where $b_i$ represents each binary digit (0 or 1)

Hex to Binary Conversion Reference Table

Hex	Decimal	Binary
0	0	0000
1	1	0001
2	2	0010
3	3	0011
4	4	0100
5	5	0101
6	6	0110
7	7	0111
8	8	1000
9	9	1001
A	10	1010
B	11	1011
C	12	1100
D	13	1101
E	14	1110
F	15	1111

This reference table shows all possible single-digit hexadecimal values (0-F) and their corresponding binary representations, making hex to binary conversion straightforward and accurate.

Multi-Digit Hex to Binary Conversion Process

Our hex to binary converter handles multi-digit hexadecimal numbers efficiently. Each digit is processed independently and combined, ensuring accurate hex to binary conversion for numbers of any length:

Example: Converting "2F" to binary

1. $2_{16} = (0010)_2$

2. $F_{16} = (1111)_2$

3. $2F_{16} = (0010\;1111)_2$
