Important Notes: (51)10 in Binary
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 51 into a binary number.
- The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 51 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
- The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 51 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
- The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 51 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (51)10.
How-to: What is (51)10 in binary?
The below step-by-step solution shows how to convert (51)10 to its equivalent binary code or number. Arranging or writing the remainders from MSB to LSB of successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 51 forms the binary equivalent of 51.
Solved Example:What is the binary equivalent of 51?
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 51?
(51)10 = (?)2
step 2 Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 51, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below:
Successive MOD-2 Operation for 51:
51 MOD-2 | 51 / 2 = 25 | Remainder is 1 → LSB |
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 |
step 3 Write the remainders of MOD-2 operation for 51 from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent for 51:
110011
5110 = 1100112
Therefore,
the binary equivalent of 51 is (110011)2
