Conversion of Binary to Hexadecimal
To convert binary numbers into n-digit hexadecimal numbers, we need to group the binary digits into sets of four from right to left. We then convert each group of four binary digits into their corresponding hexadecimal value.
Binary to hexadecimal conversion involves grouping binary digits into sets of four, starting from the right side, to make the conversion process easier. If the number of digits in the binary number is not a multiple of 4, you can add zeros to the left to complete the groupings.
For example, let's convert the binary numbers given in the question:
Conversion Process:
1. Binary 101:
Grouping: 0101
Hexadecimal Equivalent: Ox05
2. Binary 10110110:
Grouping: 1011 0110
Hexadecimal Equivalent: OxB6
3. Binary 010111100011:
Grouping: 0001 0111 1000 0011
Hexadecimal Equivalent: Ox1783
4. Binary 110111000110010000000:
Grouping: 0001 1011 1000 0110 0100 0000 0000 0000
Hexadecimal Equivalent: Ox1B864000
By following this method, you can convert any binary number into its hexadecimal equivalent. Each group of four binary digits represents one hexadecimal digit, making the conversion process straightforward.
