Converting Binary to Hexadecimal
Converting from Binary to Hexadecimal is easier than you might expect. The video takes you through it and there are written steps below too.
Steps | Outcome | Notes | |
| 1) Write down the Binary number | 1010 0011 | ||
| 2) Split it into 2 "sections"of four numerals | 1010 | 0011 | |
| 3) Convert those binary sections into their denary equivalent | 10 | 3 | (1*8)+(0*4)+(1*2)+(0*1) = 10 (0*8)+(0*4)+(1*2)+(1*1) =3 |
| 4) Change those Denary numbers into their Hex equivalent | A | 3 | A = 10 3 = 3 |
| 5) Put the Hex numerals together to get the final answer | A3 | ||
For the exam please use all the steps as there are often marks available for each step (in the same way as showing your workings in Maths gets you method marks).
