Binary is a numbering method that uses two values 0 and 1, true and false or in storage systems it low and high.
In number systems the usage of power of 2s are very common for example texture resolutions use power of 2s like 1024, 2048 and 4096 as these are easier to store in memory, as storage systems use power of 2s.
The method i was taught to convert decimal to binary to take my number and keep on dividing by 2 until you get to zero and when you dividing if you get a remainder write a 1 and if there are none write a zero.
Initially i had an issue with formatting which made me think that i was getting the wrong but after conferring with my teacher Leigh it was only a formatting issue and i was in fact getting the correct answers. After i used this method to answer the rest of the questions without any issues.
For these sets of conversion using powers of 2s in reverse numerical order and if you line the the binary under it and when one of the power of 2s has a 1 you take that and add all the ones that have a 1 under it you will have you conversion to denary. I had no issue with answering the rest of the questions.
