Here, we will understand how to convert hexadecimal (hex) numbers to binary and let us know through an example how to convert hexadecimal (hex) numbers to binary. To convert a hexadecimal (hex) number to binary, you can convert each hex digit to its equivalent 4-bit binary representation. Since each hex digit represents 4 bits, the conversion is simple.

Here, you type the hex number that you want to convert. For example, let us use a hex number 1A3 here.

We have to convert each hex digit to its 4-bit binary representation. For this, you use the following mapping.

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

For example 1A3

1 in hex is 0001 in binary.

A in hex is 1010 in binary.

3 in hex is 0011 in binary.

Now, we will combine the binary representation of each hex digit to get the binary equivalent of the entire hex digit.

Let us use our example 1A3.

The value of 1 in binary is 0001.

The value of A in binary is 1010.

The value of 3 in binary is 0011.

Combine these: 000110100011

So, the hex number 1A3 is equivalent to the binary number 000110100011.
