How to Convert 20264 to Binary

Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 20264 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 20264 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 20264 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 20264 as a binary.

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

20264 ÷ 2 = 10132 with 0 remainder
10132 ÷ 2 = 5066 with 0 remainder
5066 ÷ 2 = 2533 with 0 remainder
2533 ÷ 2 = 1266 with 1 remainder
1266 ÷ 2 = 633 with 0 remainder
633 ÷ 2 = 316 with 1 remainder
316 ÷ 2 = 158 with 0 remainder
158 ÷ 2 = 79 with 0 remainder
79 ÷ 2 = 39 with 1 remainder
39 ÷ 2 = 19 with 1 remainder
19 ÷ 2 = 9 with 1 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 20264 converted to binary is therefore:

100111100101000

So what we did on the page was to Convert A₁₀ to B₂, where A is the decimal number 20264 and B is the binary number 100111100101000. Which means that you can display decimal number 20264 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

20264₁₀ = 100111100101000₂
