How-to: What is (56)10 in binary?

The below step-by-step solution shows how to convert (56)10 to its equivalent binary code or number. Arranging or writing the remainders from MSB to LSB of successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 56 forms the binary equivalent of 56.

Solved Example:
What is the binary equivalent of 56?

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 56?
(56)10 = (?)2

step 2 Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 56, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below:

Successive MOD-2 Operation for 56:

56 MOD-2	56 / 2 = 28	Remainder is 0 → LSB
28 MOD-2	28 / 2 = 14	Remainder is 0
14 MOD-2	14 / 2 = 7	Remainder is 0
7 MOD-2	7 / 2 = 3	Remainder is 1
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 56 from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent for 56:
111000
56₁₀ = 111000₂

Therefore,
the binary equivalent of 56 is (111000)2
