Math Problem Statement

Calculate the binary value for 17.

Solution

The question asks to calculate the binary value for 17 and then choose the correct binary representation from the options.

Conversion of 17 to binary:

We can convert 17 to binary by dividing the number by 2 and noting the remainders:

  1. 17÷2=817 \div 2 = 8 remainder 1
  2. 8÷2=48 \div 2 = 4 remainder 0
  3. 4÷2=24 \div 2 = 2 remainder 0
  4. 2÷2=12 \div 2 = 1 remainder 0
  5. 1÷2=01 \div 2 = 0 remainder 1

Now, we read the remainders from bottom to top: 10001

So, the binary value of 17 is 10001.

Correct option:

  • The first option (10001) is the correct binary representation of 17.
