Binary is the simplest type of number system that uses only the digits zero and one with base two. Binary numbers are used in computer networking and communication. Hexadecimal numbers are among the number of systems that have a value of sixteen and have sixteen symbols.

Converting to hexadecimal affords a convenient way of converting large binary numbers into more compact and smaller groups. The conversion process is quite simple. It takes four digits of binary to represent one digit of hexadecimal. To do the conversion, divide the binary into groups of four bits, and if the number is not multiple, insert an extra zero bits to the left.

10100102 = 0101 0010 grouped with padding = 5216
110111012 = 1101 1101 grouped = DD16

Let us say that you would like to know how to convert binary numbers to hexadecimal.

These are just a few of the things that you can do:

−Pick the binary number that you need to convert.

−Divide the different binary digits into four groups. You need to start from left to right.

−Always start from the integer part going to the fraction part of the group.

−Start doing the conversion from each group of the binary digits to hexadecimal digits. Take note to treat the division of numbers as an integer division.

−Write down whatever remainder that you are going to get.

−Divide the results until you get 0 as the end result.

If you follow these steps, the conversion will not be too hard to do.

To convert binary numbers to hexadecimal, all you need is your adding and counting skill; since binary and hexadecimal are both power 2, this is simpler when converting than other general conversions.

here are tips on how to convert binary number to hexadecimal

1. Find a line of up to four binary numbers to convert; a binary number is 1 and 0 while a hexadecimal number can be 0 to 9

2. Write a small one above the last digit,

3. Write a small 2 on the second,4 above the third, and 8 above the eight

4. Count out how many of each place you have

5. Add your four number together

6. Change any number above 9 into a letter

Binary is the most basic kind of number system that employs only two digits of 0 and 1. A hexadecimal number is one of the numbers of systems that have the value of 16 symbols. You must first transfer a binary into other base systems. Next, switch it into a hexadecimal number as there are only 16 figures (from 0 to 7 and A to F) within the hexadecimal number structure using only 4 bits if you make each group a 4 bit of binary input number. Then replace each binary number from its corresponding hexadecimal digits, the hexadecimal number of the given number. You can add any amount of 0's in the rightmost bit for the fraction part for completing the group of 4 bit. This scenario does not alter the value of the input binary number. Take the binary number and divide the binary digits into four groups (starting from the right) for integer and start from the left for the fraction part. Convert each group of four binary digits into one hexadecimal digit.
