How to Convert Decimal to Binary Manually

If you want to learn what this tool is doing behind the scenes, here's an overview of how to convert decimal to binary manually.

1. The first step is to use long division to divide the decimal number by two, and make note whether the remainder is 1 or 0.
2. Next, take the result of the first division and divide that number by two, once again making note of the remainder.
3. Continue this until the result of your division is 0.
4. To get your binary number, list the remainders you have in reverse order and the sequence of 0s and 1s you end up with is your binary number.
