Math Problem Statement

Convert 63 to base 2.

Solution

To convert the decimal number 63 to binary (base 2), we repeatedly divide by 2, recording the remainders:

  1. 63÷2=3163 \div 2 = 31 remainder 1
  2. 31÷2=1531 \div 2 = 15 remainder 1
  3. 15÷2=715 \div 2 = 7 remainder 1
  4. 7÷2=37 \div 2 = 3 remainder 1
  5. 3÷2=13 \div 2 = 1 remainder 1
  6. 1÷2=01 \div 2 = 0 remainder 1

Now, we take the remainders from bottom to top: 111111.

Thus, 63 in base 2 is 111111.
