We are already familiar with the decimal base. However, binary representation is very important in computer science, as everything in a computer is represented by binary digits (0 and 1). Without the ability to convert back and forth between decimal and binary numbers, it would be a little difficult to communicate with a computer.
To convert a decimal number into a binary representation, we can divide the number by 2 (binary is a base 2 number system) until the division result is 0. As an example, we will convert the number 10 into binary digits:
This conversion is one of the first things you learn in college ...
