How to convert binary to hexadecimal?

It is not difficult to convert from binary to hex as hexadecimal numbers are simpler binary string variants. You just have to note that every hex digit has four binary digits. Four binary numbers are, therefore, equal to one hex. The process is easier than it sounds, but a binary to hex conversion table is always helpful for saving time, which you can find below. Follow these steps for converting binary to hexadecimal.

1. Write the binary number in groups of four digits starting from the right. If the left-most group doesn't have enough numbers to form a set of four, add an additional 0 to form a group.
2. Below each group, write 8, 4, 2, and 1. These are the weights of the number of position holders (2³, 2², 2^1, and 2⁰).
3. Every group of four in the binary gives you a hexadecimal digit. Multiply by the above digit by 8, 4, 2, and 1. 
4. In each set of four, add the products. Write down the resulted numbers under their groups.
5. You will get the hexadecimal number from left to right from the digits in each group after summation.

Example:

Let's use an example to clearly understand the conversion process of binary to hex. 

Convert (10101010)₂ to hexadecimal

Step 1: 10101010 has eight digits, which means it is possible to combine in four sets without adding 0 digits.
(1010)(1010)

Step 2: Below each group, write 8, 4, 2, and 1.

1010    1010

8421    8421

Step 3: Multiply the 8, 4, 2, and 1 with the corresponding binary digits.

1010    1010

8421    8421

8020    8020

Step 4: In each set of four, add the products.

1^st group: 8 + 2 = 10

2^nd group: 8 + 2 = 10

Write down the numbers below the groups to which they are associated with.

1010    1010

8421    8421

8020    8020

10          10

Step 5: Please note that letters are used to represent values above 9. In the hexadecimal system, 10 is denoted as letter A.

So, (10101010)₂ = (AA)₁₆
