Math Problem Statement

Convert 77 in decimal to binary.

Solution

The problem asks to convert the decimal number 77 (written as 771077_{10}) into its binary (base 2) equivalent.

To convert from decimal to binary, we can divide the number by 2 repeatedly and keep track of the remainders:

  1. 77÷2=3877 \div 2 = 38 with remainder 11
  2. 38÷2=1938 \div 2 = 19 with remainder 00
  3. 19÷2=919 \div 2 = 9 with remainder 11
  4. 9÷2=49 \div 2 = 4 with remainder 11
  5. 4÷2=24 \div 2 = 2 with remainder 00
  6. 2÷2=12 \div 2 = 1 with remainder 00
  7. 1÷2=01 \div 2 = 0 with remainder 11

Now, writing the remainders from bottom to top gives the binary number: 100110121001101_2.

Thus, 7710=1001101277_{10} = 1001101_2.
