This example of Decimal to Binary conversion uses whole or integer numbers, later we will go on to look at numbers with decimal parts. The calculation is simple, especially on a computer as it just uses repetitive division; the remainder will always be a 1 or a 0, thereby, generating the binary equivalent. Remember to read the number from bottom to top. The top is the least significant binary digit. To ensure the output is always an eight-bit binary number or byte, we insert zeros to the left of the result. This is not essential; it just makes binary numbers easier to compare. TEST YOUR UNDERSTANDING: An appreciation of binary numbers is an important part of mathematics as it enables us humans to convert ordinary numbers into various digital formats. Most scientific calculators have these features built in. Here we can go even further and show you how to convert decimal numbers.
