Convert 67 from decimal to binary
(base 2) notation:
Raise our base of 2 to a power
Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 67
20 = 1
21 = 2
22 = 4
23 = 8
24 = 16
25 = 32
26 = 64
27 = 128 <--- Stop: This is greater than 67
Since 128 is greater than 67, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 6
Work backwards from a power of 6
We start with a total sum of 0:
The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 67 is 1
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 64 = 64
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 64 = 64
This is <= 67, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 64
Our binary notation is now equal to 1
The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 67 is 1
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 32 = 32
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
64 + 32 = 96
This is > 67, so we assign a 0 for this digit.
Our total sum remains the same at 64
Our binary notation is now equal to 10
The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 67 is 1
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 16 = 16
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
64 + 16 = 80
This is > 67, so we assign a 0 for this digit.
Our total sum remains the same at 64
Our binary notation is now equal to 100
The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 67 is 1
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 8 = 8
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
64 + 8 = 72
This is > 67, so we assign a 0 for this digit.
Our total sum remains the same at 64
Our binary notation is now equal to 1000
The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 67 is 1
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 4 = 4
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
64 + 4 = 68
This is > 67, so we assign a 0 for this digit.
Our total sum remains the same at 64
Our binary notation is now equal to 10000
The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 67 is 1
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 2 = 2
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
64 + 2 = 66
This is <= 67, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 66
Our binary notation is now equal to 100001
The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 67 is 1
Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 1 = 1
Add our new value to our running total, we get:
66 + 1 = 67
This = 67, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.
Our new sum becomes 67
Our binary notation is now equal to 1000011
