401 in Binary

Decimal 401 in binary conversion provides the detailed information on what is the binary equivalent of (401)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 401 to its binary (base-2) equivalent.

(401)10 in binary is equal to:
(401)₁₀ = (?)₂
Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 401, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

401 MOD-2	401 / 2 = 200	Remainder is 1 → LSB
200 MOD-2	200 / 2 = 100	Remainder is 0
100 MOD-2	100 / 2 = 50	Remainder is 0
50 MOD-2	50 / 2 = 25	Remainder is 0
25 MOD-2	25 / 2 = 12	Remainder is 1
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 401.
401₁₀ = 110010001₂

Hence,
401 in binary is 110010001

where,
401₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 401₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
110010001₂ is the binary equivalent of the decimal 41,
2 in 110010001₂ represents the base-2 or binary number system.

Important Notes: (401)10 in Binary
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 401 into a binary number.

1. The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 401 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 401 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 401 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (401)10.
