Hexadecimal to Binary Converter

The Hexadecimal to Binary Converter is a tool that allows you to convert hexadecimal numbers (base-16) to binary numbers (base-2). Hexadecimal numbers use sixteen digits (0-9 and A-F), while binary numbers use only two digits (0 and 1).

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 hexadecimal to binary:

1. Convert each hexadecimal digit to its 4-bit binary equivalent.
2. Combine all the 4-bit binary groups to form the final binary number.

Hexadecimal to Binary conversion table:

0 = 0000 4 = 0100 8 = 1000 C = 1100 1 = 0001 5 = 0101 9 = 1001 D = 1101 2 = 0010 6 = 0110 A = 1010 E = 1110 3 = 0011 7 = 0111 B = 1011 F = 1111

Example:

Hexadecimal: 2F Convert each digit: 2 = 0010 F = 1111 Binary result: 00101111

This converter also supports the reverse operation, allowing you to convert binary numbers back to hexadecimal.
