Decimal to Binary - Simple conversion trick

This video explains how to convert from Decimal to Binary with a simple trick.
This is not the 'remainder method' – this trick is more intuitive and simple.
This method can be used also to convert from decimal to hexadecimal, or from hexadecimal to binary, or any other base that you want, as simple as that.

This video also covers the basic understanding of binary numbers and decimal numbers and what is a "base".
So if you're looking for an easy way, or maybe even the easiest method to convert Decimal number to Binary number, you've come to the right place.

Binary number is a number that is represented by 1 and 0.
Decimal number is a regular number that you use on a daily basis.

Feel free to comment with questions.

If you're going to draw a chart might as well subtract, that way you'd know instantly. Much faster

Using your example;

292 - 256 = 36,
we know instantly to skip everything else and go right to 32.

36 - 32 = 4, skip everything else and goto (<--BASIC lol) 4, and we're done.

But addition is the opposite of subtraction, so of course either way works.

Thanks for taking time to put video together and getting a discussion going!

Thank you this really helped had no idea what I was doing trying to homeschool my daughter and this made sense immediately 😊

Finally my stupid brain can process binary. Thanks for this awesome video

Thank you sir this was EXTREMELY HELPFUL. I understood how to do it but I didn’t realise that a method could be that simple 😊

[Subhankar-Venkumahanti]

Thank you so much bro, It helped me a lot, love from CS Undergrad India 😀

[fahadabid]

Much easier trick
Keep doing such appreciable work
Thank you

Yo man I love you more than my teacher from Digital Technology

[manelyndelosreyes]

HONESTLY THIS HELPED SOOOO MUCH THANK YOUUU

[Afterlifeeee]

Thank you so much. Can't believe I didn't understand this in class. 😭

[mraccountancy]

it cant be explained better than this
you rock!!!!

[noahdell]

That was extremely helpful, I appreciate it. I was so confused earlier. Hopefully I’ll get better after taking my computer science class

[ayushijha]

Thank u I am trying to learn coding before them I try many thing to learn binary properly but when I see your video I learn binary fully properly thank you Maier gabay

[kajalsingh-tunq]

Hey i am from India and i love your concept so much 🥰😘

[mohamed]

Thanks a lot for this, it's way better than my professor's method.
I would've loved more examples though, just to make sure I got the hang of it.

Try to subtract instead of addition. So, you need to only compare the new number by the digit value. You save time. But still there is a faster method...

[RaichoNikolov]

I was inspired by this video and thought about easier way. Much less work and much simple calculations.

Is 256 less then 292? Yes. Write 1.
Substract 292 - 256 = 36

Which number is less than 36? 32. Write 1 on 32. The others on the left of it are 0-s.

36-32 = 4. Write 1 on 4 and the rest are 0-s.

[rolandcucicea]

is there a more efficient way? I consider this not optimal because it takes time to draw a table for every number and substracting the powers of two from the given number as many times as we need. Is there a math trick to find them faster?

[mokshivlogs]

it helped me so much. i aced in my exam

[ThankYouYeshuaTheGodofIsrael]

Do you have a video to show from Binary back to Decimal?

[xylophone]

At 3:14 why do you sum up 32 and 256 and then afterwards you use 288 to add the other numbers and not 256 anymore?
