What is Binary to Hex Conversion?

Binary to hex conversion is the process of transforming binary (base-2) numbers into their equivalent hexadecimal (base-16) representation. It simplifies the representation of binary data for easier human understanding and efficient data storage.

Why Convert Binary to Hex?

Hexadecimal representation condenses binary data, making it more manageable and readable for humans. It's especially useful in programming, networking, and digital design where binary data is prevalent.

How to Convert Binary to Hex: The Formula

To convert binary to hex, group binary digits into sets of four (starting from the right) and replace each group with its equivalent hexadecimal digit. Repeat until all binary digits are covered.

Examples:

Example 1:

Binary: 11010101

Grouping: 1101 0101

Hex Equivalent: D5

Result: D5

Example 2:

Binary: 100111001101
