Decimal to Binary Formula
Decimal to binary conversion is a long process which is usually done by dividing the decimal number to 2. Continuous division of integers is carried out until the reminder reaches to 0 or 1. Note down all the reminders in reverse order and arrive at a binary number corresponding that is almost near to given decimal number.
Let us solve an example to understand the method.
Solved Examples
Question 1: Convert 25 in to binary system?
Solution:
Given, decimal number is 25.
Divide this number by 2 until the reminder is 0 or 1.
2 |Â Â 25
________
2 |Â Â 12……………1
________
2 |Â Â Â 6…………….0
________
2 |Â Â Â 3…………….0
________
1…………….1So, the binary equivalent is,
(25)10 = (11001)2
Divide this number by 2 until the reminder is 0 or 1.
2 |Â Â 25
________
2 |Â Â 12……………1
