Decimal To Binary Conversion: Press Any Key To Continue

Uploaded by

Rods Vargas
This document provides two methods for converting decimal numbers to binary: 1. Subtraction method: Subtract powers of two starting from the highest place value until the number is subtracted to zero, placing a 1 in the binary digit for each power of two subtracted. 2. Division method: Divide the decimal number by 2 repeatedly, placing a 1 in the binary digit for any remainders and 0 for no remainders, working from right to left. Both methods are demonstrated by converting sample decimal numbers 189, 75, and 242 to binary. Step-by-step workings are shown using charts listing the place values for each binary digit.
