740 in Binary

Decimal 740 in binary conversion provides the detailed information on what is the binary equivalent of (740)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 740 to its binary (base-2) equivalent.

(740)10 in binary is equal to:
(740)₁₀ = (?)₂
Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 740, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

740 MOD-2	740 / 2 = 370	Remainder is 0 → LSB
370 MOD-2	370 / 2 = 185	Remainder is 0
185 MOD-2	185 / 2 = 92	Remainder is 1
92 MOD-2	92 / 2 = 46	Remainder is 0
46 MOD-2	46 / 2 = 23	Remainder is 0
23 MOD-2	23 / 2 = 11	Remainder is 1
11 MOD-2	11 / 2 = 5	Remainder is 1
5 MOD-2	5 / 2 = 2	Remainder is 1
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 740.
740₁₀ = 1011100100₂

Hence,
740 in binary is 1011100100

where,
740₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 740₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
1011100100₂ is the binary equivalent of the decimal 41,
2 in 1011100100₂ represents the base-2 or binary number system.

Important Notes: (740)10 in Binary
