CCNA 200 - 301 Lesson - 17: How to Convert Decimal to Binary

Section - 3: Understanding IPV4 Addressing and Subnetting in Detail Lesson - 17: How to Convert Decimal to Binary Let's discuss how to convert decimal to binary, but for this, you first need to know what are decimal numbers and what are binary numbers. What is Binary? Binary is a binary number system that has only two digits or numbers: 0 (zero) and 1 (one). The binary system is used to write digital data such as instructions for the computer processor. To perform their functions, computers need information which they get in the form of binary. In digital information or data, bits are used as a unit of representation. The word "bit" refers to a binary digit, meaning that each bit is just a single number: either 1 or 0. Method for Decimal to Binary conversion Suppose, if we have a decimal number (192) and we need to write them in binary and we have a total of 8 bits that are 128, 64, 32,16,8, 4, 2, and 1. 128 is MSB i.e. most significant bit 1 is LSB i.e. least significant bit So, to convert the decimal number 192 into binary, we have to switch on two bits that are128 & 64 and the rest bits will be switched off and by adding these two bits we get decimal number 192 (128+64 = 192). So this was the process of converting decimal to binary, hope you now have a crystal clear understanding of the concepts.
