How to Convert 26960 to Binary

Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 26960 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 26960 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 26960 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 26960 as a binary.

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

26960 ÷ 2 = 13480 with 0 remainder
13480 ÷ 2 = 6740 with 0 remainder
6740 ÷ 2 = 3370 with 0 remainder
3370 ÷ 2 = 1685 with 0 remainder
1685 ÷ 2 = 842 with 1 remainder
842 ÷ 2 = 421 with 0 remainder
421 ÷ 2 = 210 with 1 remainder
210 ÷ 2 = 105 with 0 remainder
105 ÷ 2 = 52 with 1 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 26960 converted to binary is therefore:

110100101010000

So what we did on the page was to Convert A₁₀ to B₂, where A is the decimal number 26960 and B is the binary number 110100101010000. Which means that you can display decimal number 26960 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

26960₁₀ = 110100101010000₂
