Convert 1234 from decimal to binary

(base 2) notation:

Power Test

Raise our base of 2 to a power

Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 1234

20 = 1

21 = 2

22 = 4

23 = 8

24 = 16

25 = 32

26 = 64

27 = 128

28 = 256

29 = 512

210 = 1024

211 = 2048 <--- Stop: This is greater than 1234

Since 2048 is greater than 1234, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 10

Build binary notation

Work backwards from a power of 10

We start with a total sum of 0:

210 = 1024

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 1024 = 1024

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 1024 = 1024

This is <= 1234, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 1024

Our binary notation is now equal to 1

29 = 512

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 512 = 512

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1024 + 512 = 1536

This is > 1234, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 1024

Our binary notation is now equal to 10

28 = 256

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 256 = 256

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1024 + 256 = 1280

This is > 1234, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 1024

Our binary notation is now equal to 100

27 = 128

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 128 = 128

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1024 + 128 = 1152

This is <= 1234, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 1152

Our binary notation is now equal to 1001

26 = 64

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 64 = 64

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1152 + 64 = 1216

This is <= 1234, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 1216

Our binary notation is now equal to 10011

25 = 32

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 32 = 32

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1216 + 32 = 1248

This is > 1234, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 1216

Our binary notation is now equal to 100110

24 = 16

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 16 = 16

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1216 + 16 = 1232

This is <= 1234, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 1232

Our binary notation is now equal to 1001101

23 = 8

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 8 = 8

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1232 + 8 = 1240

This is > 1234, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 1232

Our binary notation is now equal to 10011010

22 = 4

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 4 = 4

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1232 + 4 = 1236

This is > 1234, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 1232

Our binary notation is now equal to 100110100

21 = 2

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 2 = 2

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1232 + 2 = 1234

This = 1234, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 1234

Our binary notation is now equal to 1001101001

20 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 1234 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 1 = 1

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
1234 + 1 = 1235

This is > 1234, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 1234

Our binary notation is now equal to 10011010010
