How to Convert 1080 to Binary




Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 1080 to binary.

First, note that decimal numbers use 10 digits (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and binary numbers use only 2 digits (0 and 1).

As we explain the steps to converting 1080 to binary, it is important to know the name of the parts of a division problem. In a problem like A divided by B equals C, A is the Dividend, B is the Divisor and C is the Quotient.

The Quotient has two parts. The Whole part and the Fractional part. The Fractional part is also known as the Remainder.


Step 1) Divide 1080 by 2 to get the Quotient. Keep the Whole part for the next step and set the Remainder aside.

Step 2) Divide the Whole part of the Quotient from Step 1 by 2. Again, keep the Whole part and set the Remainder aside.

Step 3) Repeat Step 2 above until the Whole part is 0.

Step 4) Write down the Remainders in reverse order to get the answer to 1080 as a binary.

Here we will show our work so you can follow along:

1080 ÷ 2 = 540 with 0 remainder
540 ÷ 2 = 270 with 0 remainder
270 ÷ 2 = 135 with 0 remainder
135 ÷ 2 = 67 with 1 remainder
67 ÷ 2 = 33 with 1 remainder
33 ÷ 2 = 16 with 1 remainder
16 ÷ 2 = 8 with 0 remainder
8 ÷ 2 = 4 with 0 remainder
4 ÷ 2 = 2 with 0 remainder
2 ÷ 2 = 1 with 0 remainder
1 ÷ 2 = 0 with 1 remainder

Then, when we put the remainders together in reverse order, we get the answer. The decimal number 1080 converted to binary is therefore:

10000111000


So what we did on the page was to Convert A10 to B2, where A is the decimal number 1080 and B is the binary number 10000111000. Which means that you can display decimal number 1080 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

108010 = 100001110002
