Binary to Hexadecimal Converter
Quickly transform binary numbers into hexadecimal (base-16) values for more compact and readable code representations in computing and debugging.
The Binary to Hexadecimal Converter is a tool that allows you to convert binary numbers (base-2) to hexadecimal numbers (base-16). Binary numbers use only two digits (0 and 1), while hexadecimal numbers use sixteen digits (0-9 and A-F).
This conversion is commonly used in computer science and digital electronics because hexadecimal provides a more compact and human-readable representation of binary data. Each hexadecimal digit represents exactly 4 binary digits (bits), making the conversion straightforward.
How the conversion works:
To convert binary to hexadecimal:
- Group the binary digits into sets of 4, starting from the right.
- Convert each group of 4 binary digits to its hexadecimal equivalent.
- Combine the hexadecimal digits to form the final result.
Example:
Binary: 1010 1101 Group into sets of 4: 1010 1101 Convert each group: 1010 = A 1101 = D Hexadecimal result: AD
This converter also supports the reverse operation, allowing you to convert hexadecimal numbers back to binary.
