How does binary to hexadecimal conversion work?

The binary system is base 2 and the hexadecimal system is base 16. To convert, group the binary number into blocks of 4 bits (starting from the right). Then, convert each 4-bit block to its equivalent hexadecimal value. Finally, join all the hexadecimal digits to get the result.

Binary to hexadecimal conversion formula

For a binary number with n digits:

Hex={bn0hkhk-1h0}hj=i=03b4j+i·2i

The bits are grouped into blocks of 4 (nibbles), and each block b4j+3b4j is converted into a hexadecimal digit hj.

Conversion process

  1. Write the binary number and group it into blocks of 4 bits, starting from the right (add leading zeros if necessary).
  2. Convert each 4-bit block into its equivalent hexadecimal value (0–9 or A–F).
  3. Combine all the obtained hexadecimal digits to form the final number in base 16.

Examples

Example 1: convert 11110010₂ to hexadecimal
(1111)(0010)1111₂=F,0010₂=2

Result: 11110010₂ = F2₁₆.

Example 2: convert 10101111₂ to hexadecimal
(1010)(1111)1010₂=A,1111₂=F

Result: 10101111₂ = AF₁₆.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convert a binary number to hexadecimal?

To convert a binary number to hexadecimal, first group it into blocks of 4 bits from the right. Then, convert each block into its hexadecimal equivalent (0–9 or A–F) and combine the results.

Why are 4-bit blocks used in the conversion?

Because each hexadecimal digit represents exactly 4 bits. This makes the conversion between binary and hexadecimal straightforward and simple.
