Each number separated by a dot is an eight bit number, so conversion requires converting four numbers. To convert a decimal number to binary, divide by two in succession until the number zero is reached.

121 / 2 = 60 r 1

60 / 2 = 30 r 0

30 / 2 = 15 r 0

15 / 2 = 7 r 1

7 / 2 = 3 r 1

3 / 2 = 1 r 1

1 / 2 = 0 r 1

Then, you read remainders backwards:

1111001

If there's less than 8 numbers, add zeroes to the left:

01111001

Then, do this for the other numbers.

55 / 2 = 22 r 1

22 / 2 = 11 r 0

11 / 2 = 5 r 1

5 / 2 = 2 r 1

2 / 2 = 1 r 0

1 / 2 = 0 r 1

00101101

7 / 2 = 3 r 1

3 / 2 = 1 r 1

1 / 2 = 0 r 1

00000111

15 / 2 = 7 r 1

7 / 2 = 3 r 1

3 / 2 = 1 r 1

1 / 2 = 1 r 1

00001111

Once you have all the binary digits, simply stick them back together using dots:

01111001.00101101.00000111.00001111

Not very helpful when its say than 55/2 = 22 r 1. The real answer is 27 r 1

How is an IPv4 address normally written?

The normal format is dotted decimal, where each octet is converted from binary to decimal and separated by a period, thus: 192.168.100.123


What is the binary of the dot decimal 156.162.179.181?

The 32-bit binary value of the dotted decimal IPv4 address 156.162.179.181 is 2,627,908,533. This is (156 x 224) + (162 x 216) + (179 x 28) + (181 x 20). Parenthesis shown only for clarity.

Convert the 32 bits binary ip address into dotted decimal notation100111000000000111100110000000111?

People often refer to the sections of a dotted decimal IP address as an octet for example, with the address 192.168.0.1, 192 is an octet, 168 is an octet, 0 is an octet and 1 is an octet. They call it this because each part of the IP address I just describes refers to 8 bits of the 32 bit IP address. Case and point: 192 = 11000000 168 = 10101000 0 = 00000000 1 = 00000001 To create the whole IP address in binary, I just put one after the other in the order they would appear in a IP address so 192.168.0.1 = 11000000101010000000000000000001. It's important to remember that every octet is 8 bits long hence why it's named an octet so, even though 0 in decimal is 0 in binary, in a IP address 0 in decimal is 00000000 in a IP address. Now that you understand how to convert a dotted decimal IP address into binary it should be clear how to change it back the other way around. Since your number is too long I am just gonna chop off the right most 1. Your first number, which is the left most 8 bits of the IP address is 10011100 which is 156 in decimal. We do this for each set of 8 bits afterwards so we would have: 10011100 = 156 00000001 = 1 11100110 = 230 00000011 = 4 This would create a final dotted decimal IP address of 156.1.230.1. Keep in mind your number is too long so I had to throw away a digit which means it may have been the wrong one and this isn't what the initial IP was supposed to be but now that you know the method you can re apply it to the proper binary IP address and see what the dotted decimal version is.


What is another way to write hex numbers?

There is basically one way to write hexadecimal numbers. Of course, the numbers represent information, and this information can be represented in may other ways; some of them are in binary (4 binary digits for each hexadecimal digit), in decimal, or each byte as as decimal number (as in the dotted decimal notation used for IP version 4 numbers).

What is the dotted decimal representation of the IPv4 address which is represented in binary string of 00001010.01100100.00010101.00000001?

Convert each binary number to decimal: Each digit to the left is worth twice what it is worth in the column to its right: each column starting from the right is worth 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ...; for an 8-bit number, the columns from the left are 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1; thus : 0000 1010 = 8 + 2 = 10 0110 0100 = 64 + 32 + 4 = 100 0001 0101 = 16 + 4 + 1 = 21 0000 0001 = 1 → 00001010.01100100.00010101.00000001 = 10.100.21.1 The IPv4 dotted decimal representation is just expressing the 32 bits of the address in the value of each of the 4 bytes used to store the 32 bits using decimal numbers with a dot between each byte's value so that it is not confused to be a single number, ie so that 10.100.21.1 is not read as 10100211 or 10,100,021,001 when the correct decimal value of the 32 bit binary number (0000 1010 0110 0100 0001 0101 0000 0001) is 174,331,137 (but converting that to binary is not as easy as converting an 8 bit (decimal number of range 0-255) to binary.
