How do you write 24 in binary?

Answer 1

We divide 24 by 2 and then the quotient obtained is also divided by 2, we continue the process until the quotient obtained is greater than 1.

24 = 2x12 + 0

12 = 2x6 + 0

6 = 2x3 + 0

3 = 2x1 + 1

The remainder obtained in last step is given highest priority and the remainder obtained in first step is given the lowest priority.

The quotient obtained in the last step is written first followed by the remainders according to their priorities:

So binary equivalent is 11000.

(24)10 = (11000)2
