Answer 1

Answer:

Decimal-to-binary follows a straightforward method. It involves dividing the number to be converted, say N, by 2 (since binary is in base 2), and making note of the remainder. We continue dividing the quotient (N / 2) by 2, until we reach the division of (1 / 2), also making note of all remainders.

Example 1: Convert 98 from decimal to binary.

1) Divide 98 by 2, making note of the remainder. Continue dividing quotients by 2, making note of the remainders. Also note the star (*) beside the last remainder.

Division Remainder, R

98 / 2 = 49 R=0

49 / 2 = 24 R=1

24 / 2 = 12 R=0

12 / 2 = 6 R=0

6 / 2 = 3 R=0

3 / 2 = 1 R=1

1 / 2 = 0 R=1*

2) The sequence of remainders going up gives the answer. Starting from 1*, we have 1100010. Therefore, 98 in decimal is 1100010 in binary.

Example 2: Convert 21 into binary.

Division Remainder, R

21 / 2 = 10 R=1

10 / 2 = 5 R=0

5 / 2 = 2 R=1

2 / 2 = 1 R=0

1 / 2 = 0 R=1

Therefore, 21 in decimal is 10101 in binary.
