How-to: What is (52)10 in binary?

The below step-by-step solution shows how to convert (52)10 to its equivalent binary code or number. Arranging or writing the remainders from MSB to LSB of successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 52 forms the binary equivalent of 52.

Solved Example:
What is the binary equivalent of 52?

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 52?
(52)10 = (?)2

step 2 Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 52, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below:

Successive MOD-2 Operation for 52:

52 MOD-2	52 / 2 = 26	Remainder is 0 → LSB
26 MOD-2	26 / 2 = 13	Remainder is 0
13 MOD-2	13 / 2 = 6	Remainder is 1
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 52 from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent for 52:
110100
52₁₀ = 110100₂

Therefore,
the binary equivalent of 52 is (110100)2
