How to Convert 14231 to Binary

Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 14231 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 14231 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 14231 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 14231 as a binary.

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

14231 ÷ 2 = 7115 with 1 remainder
7115 ÷ 2 = 3557 with 1 remainder
3557 ÷ 2 = 1778 with 1 remainder
1778 ÷ 2 = 889 with 0 remainder
889 ÷ 2 = 444 with 1 remainder
444 ÷ 2 = 222 with 0 remainder
222 ÷ 2 = 111 with 0 remainder
111 ÷ 2 = 55 with 1 remainder
55 ÷ 2 = 27 with 1 remainder
27 ÷ 2 = 13 with 1 remainder
13 ÷ 2 = 6 with 1 remainder
6 ÷ 2 = 3 with 0 remainder
3 ÷ 2 = 1 with 1 remainder
1 ÷ 2 = 0 with 1 remainder

Then, when we put the remainders together in reverse order, we get the answer. The decimal number 14231 converted to binary is therefore:

11011110010111

So what we did on the page was to Convert A₁₀ to B₂, where A is the decimal number 14231 and B is the binary number 11011110010111. Which means that you can display decimal number 14231 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

14231₁₀ = 11011110010111₂
