How to Convert 24397 to Binary

Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 24397 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 24397 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 24397 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 24397 as a binary.

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

24397 ÷ 2 = 12198 with 1 remainder
12198 ÷ 2 = 6099 with 0 remainder
6099 ÷ 2 = 3049 with 1 remainder
3049 ÷ 2 = 1524 with 1 remainder
1524 ÷ 2 = 762 with 0 remainder
762 ÷ 2 = 381 with 0 remainder
381 ÷ 2 = 190 with 1 remainder
190 ÷ 2 = 95 with 0 remainder
95 ÷ 2 = 47 with 1 remainder
47 ÷ 2 = 23 with 1 remainder
23 ÷ 2 = 11 with 1 remainder
11 ÷ 2 = 5 with 1 remainder
5 ÷ 2 = 2 with 1 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 24397 converted to binary is therefore:

101111101001101

So what we did on the page was to Convert A₁₀ to B₂, where A is the decimal number 24397 and B is the binary number 101111101001101. Which means that you can display decimal number 24397 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

24397₁₀ = 101111101001101₂
