97 in Binary

Decimal 97 in binary conversion provides the detailed information on what is the binary equivalent of (97)10, and the step-by-step work for how to convert the decimal (base-10) number 97 to its binary (base-2) equivalent.

(97)10 in binary is equal to:
(97)₁₀ = (?)₂
Perform successive MOD-2 operation for decimal 97, and mark the initial remainder as LSB and the final remainder as MSB as like the below.

97 MOD-2	97 / 2 = 48	Remainder is 1 → LSB
48 MOD-2	48 / 2 = 24	Remainder is 0
24 MOD-2	24 / 2 = 12	Remainder is 0
12 MOD-2	12 / 2 = 6	Remainder is 0
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

Arrange the remainders from MSB to LSB forms the binary equivalent of 97.
97₁₀ = 1100001₂

Hence,
97 in binary is 1100001

where,
97₁₀ is the given decimal number,
10 in 97₁₀ represents the base-10 or decimal number system,
1100001₂ is the binary equivalent of the decimal 41,
2 in 1100001₂ represents the base-2 or binary number system.

Important Notes: (97)10 in Binary
The below are some of the important notes to be remembered while converting the base-10 number 97 into a binary number.

1. The initial or first remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 97 is a Least Significant Bit (LSB).
2. The last remainder while performing MOD-2 operation for 97 is a Most Significant Bit (MSB).
3. The remainders of MOD-2 operation for 97 should be written from MSB to LSB to form the binary equivalent for the given decimal number (97)10.
