Hexadecimal is a number system that consists of 16 digits, from 0-9 and A-F. This base 16 system is normally used to display binary values in a much cleaner and shorter format. This is because for every 4 bits, you can represent 1 hex number, making it super convenient!
To convert a hexadecimal to binary, you have to convert each digit into it's binary equivalent. This is because every 4 bits maps to 1 hexadecimal number. The hexadecimal numbering to nibbles (set of four bits) conversion is documented in the following table. Using these mappings, all you have to do is map each nibble to its appropriate hexadecimal key and append it to your answer. For example, take the following hexadecimal number.Starting from the left to right, convert each hex digit to it's binary equivalent.Append each nibble (set of 4 bits) together to get the final answer: 10100001!
