Math Problem Statement

convert of decimal to binary 102

Solution

To convert the decimal number 102 to binary, follow these steps:

  1. Divide the number by 2.
  2. Record the remainder.
  3. Repeat with the quotient until the quotient is 0.
  4. The binary representation is the sequence of remainders read from bottom to top.

Let's perform the conversion:

102 \div 2 &= 51 \quad \text{remainder: } 0 \\ 51 \div 2 &= 25 \quad \text{remainder: } 1 \\ 25 \div 2 &= 12 \quad \text{remainder: } 1 \\ 12 \div 2 &= 6 \quad \text{remainder: } 0 \\ 6 \div 2 &= 3 \quad \text{remainder: } 0 \\ 3 \div 2 &= 1 \quad \text{remainder: } 1 \\ 1 \div 2 &= 0 \quad \text{remainder: } 1 \\ \end{align*}$$ Now, read the remainders from **bottom to top**: $$\text{Binary: } 1100110$$ So, the binary representation of **102** is **1100110**.
