Convert 591 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 >= 591

20 = 1

21 = 2

22 = 4

23 = 8

24 = 16

25 = 32

26 = 64

27 = 128

28 = 256

29 = 512

210 = 1024 <--- Stop: This is greater than 591

Since 1024 is greater than 591, we use 1 power less as our starting point which equals 9

Build binary notation

Work backwards from a power of 9

We start with a total sum of 0:

29 = 512

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 512 = 512

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
0 + 512 = 512

This is <= 591, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 1

28 = 256

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 256 = 256

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 256 = 768

This is > 591, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 10

27 = 128

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

Multiplying this coefficient by our original value, we get: 1 * 128 = 128

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 128 = 640

This is > 591, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 512

Our binary notation is now equal to 100

26 = 64

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
512 + 64 = 576

This is <= 591, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 576

Our binary notation is now equal to 1001

25 = 32

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
576 + 32 = 608

This is > 591, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 576

Our binary notation is now equal to 10010

24 = 16

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
576 + 16 = 592

This is > 591, so we assign a 0 for this digit.

Our total sum remains the same at 576

Our binary notation is now equal to 100100

23 = 8

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
576 + 8 = 584

This is <= 591, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 584

Our binary notation is now equal to 1001001

22 = 4

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
584 + 4 = 588

This is <= 591, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 588

Our binary notation is now equal to 10010011

21 = 2

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
588 + 2 = 590

This is <= 591, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 590

Our binary notation is now equal to 100100111

20 = 1

The highest coefficient less than 1 we can multiply this by to stay under 591 is 1

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

Add our new value to our running total, we get:
590 + 1 = 591

This = 591, so we assign our outside coefficient of 1 for this digit.

Our new sum becomes 591

Our binary notation is now equal to 1001001111

Final Answer

We are done. 591 converted from decimal to binary notation equals 10010011112.


What is the Answer?

We are done. 591 converted from decimal to binary notation equals 10010011112.
