Convert 122 from decimal to binary

(base 2) notation:

Power Test

Raise our base of 2 to a power

Start at 0 and increasing by 1 until it is >= 122

20 = 1

21 = 2

22 = 4

23 = 8

24 = 16

25 = 32

26 = 64

27 = 128 <--- Stop: This is greater than 122

Since 128 is greater than 122, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 6

Build binary notation

Work backwards from a power of 6

We start with a total sum of 0:

26 = 64

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 122 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 64 = 64

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 64 = 64

This is <= 122, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 64

Our binary notation is now equal to 1

25 = 32

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 122 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 32 = 32

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
64 + 32 = 96

This is <= 122, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 96

Our binary notation is now equal to 11

24 = 16

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 122 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 16 = 16

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
96 + 16 = 112

This is <= 122, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 112

Our binary notation is now equal to 111

23 = 8

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 122 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 8 = 8

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
112 + 8 = 120

This is <= 122, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 120

Our binary notation is now equal to 1111

22 = 4

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 122 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 4 = 4

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
120 + 4 = 124

This is > 122, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 120

Our binary notation is now equal to 11110

21 = 2

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 122 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 2 = 2

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
120 + 2 = 122

This = 122, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 122

Our binary notation is now equal to 111101

20 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 122 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 1 = 1

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
122 + 1 = 123

This is > 122, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 122

Our binary notation is now equal to 1111010

Final Answer

We are done. 122 converted from decimal to binary notation equals 11110102.


What is the Answer?

We are done. 122 converted from decimal to binary notation equals 11110102.
