To convert 172 into binary number, we need to repeatedly divide 172 by 2 and note down the remainders.
172/2 = 86; Remainder = 0
86/2 = 43; Remainder = 0
43/2 = 21; Remainder = 1
21/2 = 10; Remainder = 1
10/2 = 5; Remainder = 0
5/2 = 2; Remainder = 1
2/2 = 1; Remainder = 0
1/2 = 0; Remainder = 1
Now write the remainders from bottom to top to get the equivalent binary number to 172.
17210 = 101011002
