How to Convert 3000 to Binary

Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 3000 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 3000 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 3000 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 3000 as a binary.

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

3000 ÷ 2 = 1500 with 0 remainder
1500 ÷ 2 = 750 with 0 remainder
750 ÷ 2 = 375 with 0 remainder
375 ÷ 2 = 187 with 1 remainder
187 ÷ 2 = 93 with 1 remainder
93 ÷ 2 = 46 with 1 remainder
46 ÷ 2 = 23 with 0 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 3000 converted to binary is therefore:

101110111000

So what we did on the page was to Convert A₁₀ to B₂, where A is the decimal number 3000 and B is the binary number 101110111000. Which means that you can display decimal number 3000 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

3000₁₀ = 101110111000₂
