Frequently Asked Questions
What is binary number system?
The binary number system is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1. It's fundamental to computer systems and digital electronics.
What is two's complement?
Tw'os complement is a method used to represent signed integers in binary form. It's widely used in computer arithmetic for handling negative numbers.
Why is hexadecimal useful?
Hexadecimal (base-16) provides a more concise way to represent binary numbers. Each hex digit represents four binary digits, making it easier to read and write binary values.
What numbers can I convert?
You can convert any positive or negative decimal integer. The converter handles standard integer ranges commonly used in programming.
How It Works
Converting decimal to binary involves dividing the number by 2 repeatedly and keeping track of remainders:
- Start with your decimal number
- Divide by 2 and note the remainder (0 or 1)
- Continue dividing the quotient by 2 until you reach 0
- Read the remainders from bottom to top for your binary number
