Hexadecimal Notation

Hexadecimal notation is a base-16 numeral system that uses the digits 0-9 and the letters A-F to represent values (where A stands for 10, B for 11, and so on). Each digit in a hexadecimal number represents a power of 16. In byte representation, each hexadecimal digit corresponds to four bits (half a byte). Bytes are commonly represented as pairs of hexadecimal digits.

Binary Number Notation

Binary notation, on the other hand, is a base-2 numeral system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It is commonly used in computing and digital electronics because of its simplicity in representing data using bits (binary digits). Each digit in a binary number is called a bit, and the place values are powers of 2. The rightmost bit represents 2^0, the next bit to the left represents 2^1, and so on.

Hexadecimal to Binary Conversion

Converting a hexadecimal number to binary involves converting each hexadecimal digit to its equivalent 4-bit binary representation. Since each hexadecimal digit corresponds to a 4-bit binary nibble, you can replace each hexadecimal digit with its binary equivalent.

Steps:

• Create a table that maps each hexadecimal digit to its 4-bit binary representation.
• For example: 0: 0000, 1: 0001, ..., 9: 1001, A: 1010, B: 1011, ..., F: 1111.
• Replace each hexadecimal digit with its 4-bit binary representation.

Example:

Let's convert the hexadecimal number 1D3A to binary:

• Hexadecimal 1 corresponds to binary 0001
• Hexadecimal D corresponds to binary 1101
• Hexadecimal 3 corresponds to binary 0011
• Hexadecimal A corresponds to binary 1010

Combine these binary representations:  0001 1101 0011 1010
