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.
