How to Convert 26742 to Binary

Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 26742 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 26742 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 26742 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 26742 as a binary.

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

26742 ÷ 2 = 13371 with 0 remainder
13371 ÷ 2 = 6685 with 1 remainder
6685 ÷ 2 = 3342 with 1 remainder
3342 ÷ 2 = 1671 with 0 remainder
1671 ÷ 2 = 835 with 1 remainder
835 ÷ 2 = 417 with 1 remainder
417 ÷ 2 = 208 with 1 remainder
208 ÷ 2 = 104 with 0 remainder
104 ÷ 2 = 52 with 0 remainder
52 ÷ 2 = 26 with 0 remainder
26 ÷ 2 = 13 with 0 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 26742 converted to binary is therefore:

110100001110110

So what we did on the page was to Convert A₁₀ to B₂, where A is the decimal number 26742 and B is the binary number 110100001110110. Which means that you can display decimal number 26742 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

26742₁₀ = 110100001110110₂
