66 in Binary

Decimal 66 in binary conversion provides the detailed information on what is the binary equivalent of (66)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 66 to its binary (base-2) equivalent.

(66)10 in binary is equal to:
(66)₁₀ = (?)₂
Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 66, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

66 MOD-2	66 / 2 = 33	Remainder is 0 → LSB
33 MOD-2	33 / 2 = 16	Remainder is 1
16 MOD-2	16 / 2 = 8	Remainder is 0
8 MOD-2	8 / 2 = 4	Remainder is 0
4 MOD-2	4 / 2 = 2	Remainder is 0
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 66.
66₁₀ = 1000010₂

Hence,
66 in binary is 1000010

where,
66₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 66₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
1000010₂ is the binary equivalent of the decimal 41,
2 in 1000010₂ represents the base-2 or binary number system.

Important Notes: (66)10 in Binary
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 66 into a binary number.

1. The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 66 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 66 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 66 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (66)10.
