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:
The bits are grouped into blocks of 4 (nibbles), and each block b4j+3 … b4j is converted into a hexadecimal digit hj.
Conversion process
- Write the binary number and group it into blocks of 4 bits, starting from the right (add leading zeros if necessary).
- Convert each 4-bit block into its equivalent hexadecimal value (0–9 or A–F).
- Combine all the obtained hexadecimal digits to form the final number in base 16.
Examples
11110010₂ to hexadecimalResult: 11110010₂ = F2₁₆.
10101111₂ to hexadecimalResult: 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.
