How to convert 34 to binary, step by step
Keep dividing 34 by 2 and writing down each remainder. The remainders, read in reverse, are the answer.
| Number | ÷ 2 | Quotient | Remainder |
|---|---|---|---|
| 34 | 2 | 17 | 0 |
| 17 | 2 | 8 | 1 |
| 8 | 2 | 4 | 0 |
| 4 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
| 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
Reading the remainder column from the bottom up gives 100010, so 34₁₀ = 100010₂. Check it back: 32 + 2 = 34 — the 1 bits add up to 34.
In short: 34 ÷ 2 = 17 r 0 → 17 ÷ 2 = 8 r 1 → 8 ÷ 2 = 4 r 0 → 4 ÷ 2 = 2 r 0 → 2 ÷ 2 = 1 r 0 → 1 ÷ 2 = 0 r 1 → read bottom-up: 100010₂
