How Do You Convert Digital To Binary?
Binary is a base 2 numbering system that is used in all modern computers. It differs from the digital or decimal systems that we know as our basic numbering system in that it has only two values–1 or 0. Converting digital or decimal to binary takes only basic math computations. The method is to divide the number by 2 and track the remainders in order to convert the digital number to binary. Start with a number to convert. As an example, we’ll use 123. Take 123 and divide by 2. The answer is 61 with a remainder of 1. Take 61 and divide by 2. The answer is 30 with a remainder of 1. Take 30 and divide by 2. The answer is 15 with a remainder of 0. Take 15 and divide by 2. The answer is 7 with a remainder of 1. Take 7 and divide by 2. The answer is 3 with a remainder of 1. Take 3 and divide by 2. The answer is 1 with a remainder of 1. Take 1 and divide by 2. The answer is 0 with a remainder of 1. List the remainders in order starting with the final remainder first. Our number is 1111011. T
