Math Problem Statement

Convert 610 to a binary number

Solution

To convert the decimal number 610 to a binary number, follow these steps:

  1. Divide the number by 2 and write down the quotient and remainder.
  2. Continue dividing the quotient by 2 until the quotient becomes 0, noting each remainder.
  3. The binary representation is obtained by reading the remainders in reverse order (from bottom to top).

Let's go through the steps:

610÷2=305 remainder 0610 \div 2 = 305 \text{ remainder } 0 305÷2=152 remainder 1305 \div 2 = 152 \text{ remainder } 1 152÷2=76 remainder 0152 \div 2 = 76 \text{ remainder } 0 76÷2=38 remainder 076 \div 2 = 38 \text{ remainder } 0 38÷2=19 remainder 038 \div 2 = 19 \text{ remainder } 0 19÷2=9 remainder 119 \div 2 = 9 \text{ remainder } 1 9÷2=4 remainder 19 \div 2 = 4 \text{ remainder } 1 4÷2=2 remainder 04 \div 2 = 2 \text{ remainder } 0 2÷2=1 remainder 02 \div 2 = 1 \text{ remainder } 0 1÷2=0 remainder 11 \div 2 = 0 \text{ remainder } 1

Reading the remainders from bottom to top, we get:

61010=10011000102610_{10} = 1001100010_2

Thus, the binary representation of 610 is 1001100010.
