The number 60 in binary is 111100.

The digits in a binary number are exponents of 2 rather than 10, so that for a six digit number in binary, the digit places represent

32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 instead of increasing values of 10.

111100 = 32+16+8+4+0+0 = 60

To create a binary number, use places for all exponent values of 2 that are less than your number. Subtract the largest digit (here 32) and see if each successive smaller digit can be subtracted. If it can, enter a 1 value and subtract again. Here, the remainder is 28, so there is a 16, leaving 12, an 8, leaving 4, and a 4, leaving 0. Write 0 values in the digit places for 2 and 1
