387 in Binary

Decimal 387 in binary conversion provides the detailed information on what is the binary equivalent of (387)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 387 to its binary (base-2) equivalent.

(387)10 in binary is equal to:
(387)₁₀ = (?)₂
Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 387, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

387 MOD-2	387 / 2 = 193	Remainder is 1 → LSB
193 MOD-2	193 / 2 = 96	Remainder is 1
96 MOD-2	96 / 2 = 48	Remainder is 0
48 MOD-2	48 / 2 = 24	Remainder is 0
24 MOD-2	24 / 2 = 12	Remainder is 0
12 MOD-2	12 / 2 = 6	Remainder is 0
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

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent of 387.
387₁₀ = 110000011₂

Hence,
387 in binary is 110000011

where,
387₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 387₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
110000011₂ is the binary equivalent of the decimal 41,
2 in 110000011₂ represents the base-2 or binary number system.

Important Notes: (387)10 in Binary
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 387 into a binary number.

1. The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 387 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 387 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 387 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (387)10.
