Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 18788 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 18788 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 18788 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 18788 as a binary.
Here we will show our work so you can follow along:
18788 ÷ 2 = 9394 with 0 remainder
9394 ÷ 2 = 4697 with 0 remainder
4697 ÷ 2 = 2348 with 1 remainder
2348 ÷ 2 = 1174 with 0 remainder
1174 ÷ 2 = 587 with 0 remainder
587 ÷ 2 = 293 with 1 remainder
293 ÷ 2 = 146 with 1 remainder
146 ÷ 2 = 73 with 0 remainder
73 ÷ 2 = 36 with 1 remainder
36 ÷ 2 = 18 with 0 remainder
18 ÷ 2 = 9 with 0 remainder
9 ÷ 2 = 4 with 1 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 18788 converted to binary is therefore:
100100101100100
So what we did on the page was to Convert A10 to B2, where A is the decimal number 18788 and B is the binary number 100100101100100. Which means that you can display decimal number 18788 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:
1878810 = 1001001011001002
