2. Decimal Knowledge Introduction

Decimal is a counting system with base 10, using ten digits 0-9, which is the most commonly used number system in daily life. The characteristic of decimal is that every ten counts as one, and each digit's weight is a power of 10.

Binary is a counting system with base 2, using only two digits 0 and 1, which is the most basic number system in computers. In computers, all data is stored and processed in binary form because computer hardware can only recognize two states: on (1) and off (0).

Importance of base conversion: In computer programming, network engineering, digital circuit design, and other fields, base conversion is a fundamental skill. Understanding the conversion methods between decimal and binary helps in understanding how computers work.

3. Common Methods for Decimal to Binary Conversion

1. Division by 2 method: Continuously divide the decimal number by 2 and record the remainder, then arrange the remainders from bottom to top. For example, decimal number 10 converts to binary: 10÷2=5 remainder 0, 5÷2=2 remainder 1, 2÷2=1 remainder 0, 1÷2=0 remainder 1, so the result is 1010.

2. Subtraction of powers method: Starting from the largest power of 2, subtract powers of 2 that are not larger than the current number, mark as 1, otherwise mark as 0. For example, decimal number 10, the largest power of 2 is 8 (2³), 10-8=2, mark as 1; 2 equals 2¹, mark as 1, other bits are 0, so the result is 1010.

3. Using calculator: Use a scientific calculator or online tools (like this tool) for conversion.

4. Calculation Method for Decimal to Binary

The calculation formula for decimal to binary conversion: Represent the decimal number as a sum of powers of 2, then set the corresponding bits to 1 and other bits to 0.

For example, decimal number 10 can be represented as 8 + 2 = 2³ + 2¹, so the corresponding binary number is 1010.

5. Decimal to Binary Mnemonic

Decimal to binary mnemonic:

Divide by 2, get remainder, reverse order;

Stop when quotient is zero, combine remainders;

High bits on left, low bits on right.

Example: Decimal number 13, 13÷2=6 remainder 1, 6÷2=3 remainder 0, 3÷2=1 remainder 1, 1÷2=0 remainder 1, arrange remainders in reverse order to get 1101.
