Important Notes: (13)10 in Binary
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 13 into a binary number.
- The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 13 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
- The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 13 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
- The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 13 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (13)10.
How-to: What is (13)10 in binary?
The below step-by-step solution shows how to convert (13)10 to its equivalent binary code or number. Arranging or writing the remainders from MSB to LSB of successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 13 forms the binary equivalent of 13.
Solved Example:What is the binary equivalent of 13?
step 1 Observe the input parameters, values and what to be found:
Input values:
Decimal Number = (41)10
what to be found:
Which binary value is equal to the decimal number 13?
(13)10 = (?)2
step 2 Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 13, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below:
Successive MOD-2 Operation for 13:
13 MOD-2 | 13 / 2 = 6 | Remainder is 1 → LSB |
6 MOD-2 | 6 / 2 = 3 | Remainder is 0 |
3 MOD-2 | 3 / 2 = 1 | Remainder is 1 |
1 MOD-2 | 1 / 2 = 0 | Remainder is 1 → MSB |
step 3 Write the remainders of MOD-2 operation for 13 from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent for 13:
1101
1310 = 11012
Therefore,
the binary equivalent of 13 is (1101)2
