The Division Method
The most reliable way to convert a decimal number to binary is the "Successive Division by 2" method. You divide the number by 2 repeatedly and track the remainders.
Step-by-Step Rules
- Divide the decimal number by 2.
- Write down the remainder (0 or 1).
- Divide the quotient from the previous step by 2.
- Repeat until the quotient is 0.
- Read the remainders in reverse order (bottom to top).
Why Use Binary?
Binary is the fundamental language of digital electronics. It's used because it's easy to represent physically (On/Off, High/Low Voltage, 0/1).
