    47 in Binary

    Decimal 47 in binary conversion provides the detailed information on what is the binary equivalent of (47)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 47 to its binary (base-2) equivalent.

    (47)10 in binary is equal to:
    (47)10 = (?)2
    Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 47, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

    47 MOD-2     47 / 2 = 23  Remainder is 1 → LSB
    23 MOD-2     23 / 2 = 11  Remainder is 1
    11 MOD-2     11 / 2 = 5  Remainder is 1
    5 MOD-2     5 / 2 = 2  Remainder is 1
    2 MOD-2     2 / 2 = 1  Remainder is 0
    1 MOD-2     1 / 2 = 0  Remainder is 1 → MSB
    Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent of 47.
    4710 = 1011112

    Hence,
    47 in binary is 101111

    where,
    4710 is the given decimal number,
    10 in 4710 represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
    1011112 is the binary equivalent of the decimal 41,
    2 in 1011112 represents the base-2 or binary number system.

    Important Notes: (47)10 in Binary
    The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 47 into a binary number.
    1. The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 47 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
    2. The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 47 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
    3. The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 47 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (47)10.
