What are the steps involved in converting a decimal number to binary using the method of repeated division?
Repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2, and the remainders, when read in reverse order, are the binary equivalent.
Repeatedly divide the decimal number by 10, and the remainders, when read from left to right, are the binary equivalent.
Repeatedly multiply the decimal number by 2, and the whole number parts, when read in forward order, are the binary equivalent.
Repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2, and the remainders, when read from left to right, are the binary equivalent.
Explication
To convert decimal to binary, repeatedly divide by 2, and the remainders (read in reverse order) are the binary digits.
