Hexadecimal to Binary Conversion Guide
Hexadecimal (base 16) uses digits from 0–9 and letters A–F to represent values. Each hex digit maps directly to 4 binary bits (called a nibble).
Hex to Binary Table (0–F)
- 0 → 0000
- 1 → 0001
- 2 → 0010
- 3 → 0011
- 4 → 0100
- 5 → 0101
- 6 → 0110
- 7 → 0111
- 8 → 1000
- 9 → 1001
- A → 1010
- B → 1011
- C → 1100
- D → 1101
- E → 1110
- F → 1111
Example: Convert Hex 2F to Binary
- 2 → 0010
- F → 1111
So, 2F in binary is 00101111.
Why This Matters
Binary is essential in computing and networking. Hex makes long binary numbers easier to read and write. Converting between the two is key in debugging, IP addressing, and low-level programming.
