Important Notes: (59)10 in Binary
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 59 into a binary number.
- The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 59 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
- The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 59 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
- The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 59 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (59)10.
How-to: What is (59)10 in binary?
The below step-by-step solution shows how to convert (59)10 to its equivalent binary code or number. Arranging or writing the remainders from MSB to LSB of successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 59 forms the binary equivalent of 59.
Solved Example:What is the binary equivalent of 59?
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 59?
(59)10 = (?)2
step 2 Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 59, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below:
Successive MOD-2 Operation for 59:
59 MOD-2 | 59 / 2 = 29 | Remainder is 1 → LSB |
29 MOD-2 | 29 / 2 = 14 | Remainder is 1 |
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 59 from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent for 59:
111011
5910 = 1110112
Therefore,
the binary equivalent of 59 is (111011)2
