How to Convert 3612 to Binary

Here we will show you step-by-step how to convert the decimal number 3612 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 3612 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 3612 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 3612 as a binary.

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

3612 ÷ 2 = 1806 with 0 remainder
1806 ÷ 2 = 903 with 0 remainder
903 ÷ 2 = 451 with 1 remainder
451 ÷ 2 = 225 with 1 remainder
225 ÷ 2 = 112 with 1 remainder
112 ÷ 2 = 56 with 0 remainder
56 ÷ 2 = 28 with 0 remainder
28 ÷ 2 = 14 with 0 remainder
14 ÷ 2 = 7 with 0 remainder
7 ÷ 2 = 3 with 1 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 3612 converted to binary is therefore:

111000011100

So what we did on the page was to Convert A₁₀ to B₂, where A is the decimal number 3612 and B is the binary number 111000011100. Which means that you can display decimal number 3612 to binary in mathematical terms as follows:

3612₁₀ = 111000011100₂
